New images reveal Baku track’s narrow corners

I have just found this today Herman Tilke Baku Track Pictures

Any thoughts

I'd have liked to see some of the port used, but nonetheless it should be good.

People have slated it for looking a bit strange, but I'm told there's a lot of elevation changes which should be a real test. I think there will be very little margin for errors, like Monaco, as evidenced by the minimal run-off area.

Looks good from that mock-up. The more elevation changes and unusual track characteristics it can have, the better. A narrow track would add to the character of it too.

Or they could cancel Azerbaijan and just have the race at Knockhill. :P

I dislike the fact that all corners to te straights are 90 degrees right/ left handers. It makes the straight as useless as rosberg's square tyres.

Adelaide was nothing but 90-degree corners, and people pine for that for some reason...

adelaide had a fantastic layout to its longest straight - a 3th gear corner. No wonder no passes happened onthe start/finish straigt. after all it had a 90degree corner leading to it , which made overtaking there virutally impossible.

I miss Adelaide

I think it looks amazing! Should certainly be interesting. The old town bit looks stupidly tight....
