Baku always seems to have some sort of incident in the race that sets off a huge chain of events resulting in an unpredictable podium. There have been events ranging from Daniil Kvyat's Toro Rosso parking itself on the circuit to create a safety car, to of course Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen ramming into each other to pull one out last year.

Who do we see causing the incident to change the race this year? Haas's Romain Grosjean and Renault's Nico Hulkenberg. Why these two? Last year in Baku (and also the year before for Hulkenberg,) they both found themselves putting their car into the wall at separate points in the race without a prompt from anyone else.

This year, with the midfield being so tight, we see the Haas and Renault getting packed close together in the running order. Sometime during the race, while they are each trying their best not to end up in the walls of Baku, we see one or the other trying a desperate lunge in a tight winding corner and a coming together of the black and yellow to set Baku off!
