Race recap:
A new track around the streets of Baku, combining a ridiculously long straight with tight corners and unforgivingly close barriers, the circuit is certainly a unique addition to the f1 calendar.

It was an easy win for Rosberg and Mercedes. His teammate Hamilton crashed in Q3 in qualifying, and had a difficult race to fifth place after struggling with the settings on his car and the radio ban meaning his engineer couldn't tell him how to fix the problem.
Driver of the day was undoubtedly Perez, once again getting his Force India onto the podium. This performance will increase the speculation of a move to Ferrari.
The Ferraris of Vettel and Raikkonen were 2nd and 4th respectively, Raikkonen like Hamilton struggled with the settings of his car.
Bottas was sixth and Massa tenth for Williams, perhaps a bit disappointing for a track that should suit their car, they struggled to get the tyres into the working temperature range.
The Red Bulls of Ricciardo and Verstappen were seventh and eighth.
Hulkenburg was ninth on a weekend where he probably would have preferred to defend his Le Mans 24 hours title, but couldn't because of the scheduling conflict.
