Ten of the best pictures which tell the story of the 2016 European Grand Prix weekend.
Felipe Nasr
A UNESCO world heritage site is not something you would normally expect to form part of a Formula One circuit. Here Felipe Nasr explores Baku’s circuit.
Nico Rosberg
The weekend got off to a frustrating start for Nico Rosberg after a power unit problem.
Romain Grosjean
Baku’s low-grip surface and long acceleration zones plus Pirelli’s conservative tyre selection made for a weekend of heavy lock-ups. Romain Grosjean seemed to suffer more than most.
Daniel Ricciardo
After a crash in practice Daniel Ricciardo snatched a place on the front row.
Valtteri Bottas
The light conditions became challenging for drivers late in the day.
Lewis Hamilton
A scruffy qualifying session for Lewis Hamilton ended when he clipped a barrier at turn ten, breaking his suspension.

That Daniel Ricciardo pic is incredible. Would have been even better if it was not as blurry.

It seems that they cropped the picture, I guess it’s pretty hard to get the car in frame at the exact moment they pass by so they cut it later.
