Facts from the previous race

Sebastian Vettel has become the first driver to get three-quarters of the way towards a race ban after being put on nine penalty points at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The Ferrari driver was given three penalty points for making contact with Lewis Hamilton during a Safety Car period. That brings him to a total of nine for the current 12-month period. A race ban is automatically applied if a driver reaches 12 points.

Since the penalty points system was introduced at the beginning of 2014 no driver has accumulated more than eight points in a 12-month period. Here’s how Vettel reached nine:
Race Points Incident
2016 British Grand Prix 2 Forced Felipe Massa off the track
2016 Malaysian Grand Prix 2 Caused a collision with Nico Rosberg
2016 Mexican Grand Prix 2 Drove dangerously (incident involving Daniel Ricciardo)
2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix 3 Caused a collision with Lewis Hamilton

The largest number of penalty points any driver has been given for a single incident is three. Therefore Vettel is at risk of receiving a one-race ban if he commits a sufficiently seriously offence at the next race.

However this will only be the case at the Austrian Grand Prix, after which Vettel will deduct the two points he incurred at Silverstone last year, and drop to seven. Jolyon Palmer and Carlos Sainz Jnr are currently on seven penalty points, the next-highest after Vettel.

The race saw Daniel Ricciardo take a surprise fifth career victory, from tenth on the grid. The last time anyone started that far back and won was five years ago, when Fernando Alonso won the European Grand Prix in Valencia from eleventh. The last driver to win from tenth on the grid was Kimi Raikkonen in the 2004 Belgian Grand Prix.

All of Ricciardo’s five wins have come from outside the top three places on the grid. He is now tied on wins with world champions Giuseppe Farina and Keke Rosberg, plus Clay Regazzoni, John Watson and Michele Alboreto.

Ricciardo is the fourth different winner of the year and Red Bull are the third different team to win a race. It’s the first time since 2013 – the last year of the V8 era – that more than two teams or engine manufacturers have won a race.

Had it not been for a faulty headrest, Hamilton likely would have won the race. That would have given him a clean sweep by having won at least once on every track on the 2017 F1 calendar. Instead he repeated his 2016 result by finishing fifth.

Hamilton did take his 66th career pole position, moving him one clear of Ayrton Senna on the all-time list and leaving him two short of Michael Schumacher’s record.

It was a big weekend for Lance Stroll who claimed his first podium finish and out-qualified his team mate. It was the first time a Canadian driver had stood on the rostrum since Jacques Villeneuve finished third at the Hockenheimring in 2001.

Had Stroll done it one race earlier he would have beaten Max Verstappen’s record for being the youngest driver on the F1 podium. Stroll was 18 years and 244 days old on race day – 12 days older than Verstappen was when he won in Spain last year. However Stroll is the youngest driver to finish on the podium during his rookie season.

Valtteri Bottas had an unusual trip to the podium. He started where he finished, but only after losing 18 places by colliding with Raikkonen, falling off the lead lap and regaining it under the Safety Car, then passing Stroll for second on the line.

The strange pattern of the race can be seen in that on lap six the eventual podium occupants were running eighth (Stroll), 17th (Ricciardo) and 20th (Bottas). There were also nine different teams in the ten points-scoring positions – only Renault failed to score.

Verstappen’s retirement meant Red Bull Racing have now completed fewer laps than McLaren so far this season. 685 to McLaren’s 716.

It's still a pretty good track in terms of the modern era in my opinion.

Wonder how the drivers & the FIA will manage track limits at the 2nd to last turn this year.

I think Bo77as may be in trouble...

The median human reaction time is 271 milliseconds. The average human reaction time is 282 milliseconds.

His recorded reaction of just over 200 milliseconds suggests he anticipated the start & it was luck that he didn't move before the lights went out.

I quite enjoyed this race. It certainly was chess being played at hi speed but I also was impressed with the driver skill. One mistake is a huge penalty and with the chasing/ being chased I was really impressed.

^ as close as anyone has ever been to being deemed a jump start. If the FIA were ok with it then ill go with their ruling.

Bloody el social media has gone super toxic over the last few weeks in F1 land. Its pretty piss poor and im on the verge of unfollowing a number of pages that till now have been informative.

Bottas must have been releasing his fingers before the lights went out to be that close to not jumping it but he said they're always off for roughly the same amount of time so he just got lucky. Also Vettel was a bit slow so it over exaggerates the 'jump'.
