Time On Track Ep. 5 Round 4: Baku

Welcome to Episode 5 of Time On Track, where Ricardo and Blake discuss round 4 of the 2023 Formula 1 season: the Azerbaijan GP through the streets of Baku. The race itself may have seemed rather uneventful, but there was plenty to discuss around the whole race weekend, including a frantic sprint race, and some fireworks in qualifying. We talk about what makes Sergio Perez such great performer around street tracks (he is now the only 2-time winner at Baku), what we noticed in the mid field, and lament another early safety car that locked the strategy in place across the board.

We’re still waiting on some of the battles in the mid field and upper portions of the pack to materialize, but the season is still young and we look ahead to the coming race in Miami this weekend. Will we be spared another early safety car? How will those first corners play out in the race this year? We discuss all this and more in the episode 5 below.

We were on hand in Miami last year experiencing the race from the grandstands thank to IWC, who launched a new watch at the race. They’ve done something similar this year. Catch our full reaction to the events last year in this recap, which includes a gallery of photos from the stands. We’ll be back next week to discuss round 5 and look ahead to the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
