How does one end up drunk wandering around Baku of all places?Didn't realize the Azerbaijan GP was today (don't follow F1 to much) but still kind of cool seeing places I've drunkenly walked around during the race broadcast.
Welcome to F1. We have cookies and complain about sons of billionaires around here.It's probably already been mentioned somewhere in this thread, but there's an F1 series on Netflix that I really enjoyed and I knew absolutely nothing about the sport going into it.
Embassy duty when I was in the marines. Was/Wasn't a good time... lolHow does one end up drunk wandering around Baku of all places?
Ok that makes sense then. I've drove past Hockenhiem a couple of times when I worked in cab engineering for Deere because that's on the road between the tractor factory and cab factory in Germany and I almost went to check out Monza last time I was in Italy. Apparently you can rent a bike at Monza and ride around the track. I was planning on doing that last time but the weather that day was terrible.Embassy duty when I was in the marines.

Yeah the GP in Baku was announced the year after I left. Used to have our drivers drop off/pick us up at the maiden tower base all the time. A lot of the streets they use for it used to be just brick.Ok that makes sense then.

Baku has turned into what Monaco used to be 20-30 years ago when the cars were smaller. Monaco for all it's history is the worst race on the calendar right now.That was wild yesterday morning.
It’s amazing the difference going from Monaco to Azerbaijan.
Yep, I followed F1 a little bit years back but then during the pandemic watched the Netflix show and it got me back into it. Didn't realize how much everybody pretty much hates everyone else in that sport. Makes for good drama.I lived with a mechanical engineer my freshman year at ISU and he was SUPER into F1. I probably hadn't paid attention to it at all for close to 20 years until the Netflix show. Might be my favorite show bar none.
Hockenheim notoriously killing probably the best driver of all time Jim Clark back in the 60s. Have a tough time watching Formula One lately simply because of how dominant Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes have become. Currently in second but I dont know if Verstappen and RB can stay ahead.Ok that makes sense then.

Yeah, I think Mercedes made the wrong call and it ended up in quite the benefit for Red Bull. Good day for McLaren and Aston Martin.Wow. BIG for Max/Red Bull.
