Azerbaijan Grand Prix

The race was almost exciting for all the wrong reasons.

Esteban Ocon had to come in for tires on the penultimate lap, and some galaxy brain had let the photographers loose into the pit lane:

Very lucky Ocon was already on the brakes, especially given the awful visibility around the chicane.

This reminds me of how badly the 2022 Japanese Grand Prix was handled during that safety car. Just like there, this could have very VERY EASILY ended in tragedy. Had someone on pit road not been paying attention and Ocon couldn't hit the brakes in time, someone could have died. Pit lane speed limit is about 50 mph I think. Slow for an F1 car, but not when it's connecting with the human body. Hopefully the FIA do what needs to be done so that things are kept safe. People need to be held accountable for this because people's lives were put in danger when there was zero reason for it. Damn, sorry for the rant but seeing stuff like that gets the blood pumping

And also, I regret waking up at 6am for this snooze fest of a race!
