Formula 1’s Latest Rumours and Talk: Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton and More

With the longest straight and tightest sequence of corners on the calendar, the Baku City Circuit would have left several Formula One drivers feeling uncomfortable on Sunday afternoon, but Nico Rosberg wasn't one of them.

Starting from pole position, the Mercedes driver dominated proceedings to register his fifth victory of the 2016 season before admitting he felt completely at ease with his W07 on a track that invited and punished innocent errors.

As Rosberg felt at one with his car, Lewis Hamilton would have felt alien to his after suffering an engine-mapping problem during the race.

The three-time world champion took as many as 12 laps to resolve the issue and has criticised the increased radio restrictions implemented at the beginning of the year, arguing he was put in a unnecessarily dangerous situation.

Hamilton's inability to flick the correct switch effectively ended his pursuit of a podium, with Sergio Perez capitalising on his misfortune to claim Force India's second top-three result in the space of three weeks.

And the Mexican has explained why this season is quickly becoming the best of his F1 career.

Perez's recent form may see him offered a seat at Ferrari in 2017, but he will hope the team improve their form ahead of his potential arrival.

After a difficult start to the weekend, the Prancing Horse recovered to claim a comfortable podium finish in Azerbaijan.

But team principal Maurizio Arrivabene has admitted that result has only papered over the cracks, with the SF16-H not worthy of drivers of the calibre of Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen.

Closing our post-European GP roundup is Valtteri Bottas, who has expressed his disappointment with a Williams team who are rapid during pit stops but considerably slower on the track itself.
