It took 16 minutes before all drivers had set a lap time this second practice session for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Max Verstappen was the last to put a lap time on the leaderboard. His Red Bull mechanics were still working on his back wing which had been replace by a different one.

Two questions. First, does MB pay the SKYguys' salaries? Second, if Lewie can interchange a ring and a stud how is it a 'minor' surgery to just get rid of the nose bling? Bring it HAMfans.
Hey...Old fella with the leaky pipe Lol. Keep calm. Bottom line, Sir Lewis will get what he wants. So move on.
Focus on which brand of Depends holds the most pee pee. 😂
BBC reporting Hamilton had a sore bottom after fp2, oh how a knight suffer
Were the sky team sucking up to Hamster gain Ror, theyve gotta let it go GR is the new King in the team
Objectively, MB is now less than 20% of the show but SKY continues to give them about 30% of the coverage and commentary. Today, the Coftmeister called the knight the greatest of all time....not one of, THE. I'd best hush. The US is likely to get Netflix as a race source next year w/ Hollywood hypster commentators. Makes me miss NBC doing the races remote from a bunker in Charlotte, North Carolina. At least we had Hobbs, Matchet and Buxton.
Now, about that Lewie nose bling and his staring off into the distance during interviews.
