the notes of the ‘qualy’ of the GP of Azerbaijan

BarcelonaCharles Leclerc will not resign from the World Cup. Second overall, he will seek to regain the first position now held by Max Verstappen. Ferrari has set the fastest time and will start first for the sixth time this year.

Leclerc’s fourth consecutive pole

Leclerc is unquestionable. The stability and persistence he exhibits have made him rise, once again, to the first position for this Sunday’s race (3pm, DAZN). The Cavallino Rampante team wants to regain the lead in a circuit of their favorites, where they feel very comfortable, despite the difficulty of the track sunk between the walls of Baku. Just behind him in the clocks, the two Red Bulls will want to take the best position and consolidate the lead in the general of Max Verstappen, who will come out third, just behind the wing of the poleman. Carlos Sainz will close the second row with a fourth starting position.

Baku city tour, a new maze

For the second weekend in a row, Formula 1 installs the circus on an urban circuit. Baku is the scene of an exciting new Grand Prix inside the ratera that is the capital of Azerbaijan. The walls, even closer to the asphalt than to the legendary Monaco track, have already made almost all riders squint. Many cars have scratched their billboards, bumpers, and wheels have run into more than one solid track boundary. This Sunday’s race will be a constant suffering where the yellow and red flags also ask for passage.

Lewis Hamilton during the 'qualy'

Hamilton, missing

The battles between Red Bull and Mercedes seem like another life. Now the German team can barely look into the best version of the World Cup. Hamilton is facing his worst face. Gone are the years when I had years of championships. Now the Mercedes is suffering like never before with a version too far from the driver it really is. The end of last season, in which he lost the World Cup with a controversial final in the last lap of the last race, has left him emotionally touched. This, along with the fact that the car is no longer competitive, brings Stevenage closer to a dark age. Baku will be seventh, awaiting a possible sanction for “unnecessarily slow” driving.
