If there was one factor on which just about all the drivers within the 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix had been agreed upon, it was that it had been a “loopy” race.
That was the phrase used repeatedly, after a controversial incident during which Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel had fallen out, Daniel Ricciardo and Valtteri Bottas had pushed back-to-front races to first and second locations respectively, and new boy Lance Stroll had completed third, thus turning into F1’s youngest-ever podium star.
