How F1 caused its own mess in Baku
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix clash between Vettel and Hamilton under the safety car stole the headlines in Baku - but it was only one of several concerning incidents during caution periods
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix was one of those Formula 1 races in which a lot of things happened, not a great deal of them to do with the actual racing.
The big talking point was the two collisions under the safety car between Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton. As it unfolded, I did think Hamilton didn't do the right thing by going so slowly coming off Turn 15, because he was continually complaining about the speed the safety car was traveling at and about tyre temperatures. So, to more or less stop seemed strange.
