I do prefer a safe race where those almostsuperhumans don´t risk their lifes unnecesarily, so I can see them performing for many years

Put Michael Dunlop on a MotoGP or SBK bike, and I´ll bet a good amount of money he will be dead last

There´s a reason IoM winner never competed on any international series, that´s not a race for fastest riders in the world, but for the biggest balls or smallest heads/minds (not sure how do you say it in english), depending on how do you look at it


F1 is supposed to be about fastest drivers and cars, not about most risky competition like IoM is, so you´re comparing aples to oranges.
I think if you want to think it that way, then Hillclimbs would be the equivalent to the IoM of F1. Even though Baku is a street course, modifications have been applied for safety reasons. Barriers, fenes and such.
Probably, but as stated Hillclimb is way safer than IoM.

For that reason we´ve seen a competitive top driver there, even if it was after his retirement (Loeb), and he anihilated all records wich proves my point

There are competitive races and there are dangerous races, but there´s no competitve and dangerous race at same time in modern era

That balcony! How much would you pay to stand on that balcony?
If you have to ask for the price, then you can't afford it! ;-)
That balcony is too tight for me, I do prefer the castle :mrgreen:

The tower looks weirdly cut off on the left side...

Apart from that I am surprised there are no fences in front of the castle. But maybe its not completely finished yet...

That "castle section" looks great. It seems made for true men. Sadly Senna and Schumacher wont be here.

don't think that's the case. It's probably one of those historic buildings/architecture thats needs to be refurbished. Work probably starts around this period, so at the meantime they hang these graphical wallpapers in front of the building. I've seen it happen.

while also sending off 4 Hamilton players to make it more interesting"

I am not sure whether this is the case here, but I've seen many times the net put on the scaffolding with the image of the building after its renovation, especially in the old city centres and on historic buildings.
