2022 Azerbaijan Grand Prix - Buildup, Practice & Qualifying Thread

[458 Italia]

Yeah, Until we grab pole by like 3 tenths..............Still think Ferrari are holding something back

Hope so

[elnano14]

Sainz really really needs to ****ing step up. When you see Leclerc was battling the Red Bull for P1 with the gap only 1 tenth between 3 drivers and then you see Sainz was chilling +0.4s behind everytime. It's so frustrating

I’m not worried about a Ferrari pole. Charles has had a few this year which weren’t converted to wins.

There are no points for pole.

Exactly, so long as we have better race pace, look after the tires better and good strategy...hmmmm, on the latter we have to work a bit...we can beat the FIZZY DRINKS Co. on Sunday

[paolo lalli]

Thats something that should be looked at pole should get points just like the fastest lap does so much goes into achieving pole position the complete build up from a technical physical and emotional points of view.

[Tifoso Svedese]

I think they were fuelling up between runs and we weren't? I'd take that as a positive.

[jgonzalesm6]

Stroll bins it 2x.....jeeeez.

[PURE PASSION]

As I expected, RedBull has the edge over us . Only a mighty lap from Lec could steal the pole from them.
Are we clipped a little qually pace for the race???!!!
It's a bit odd that RedBull are faster then us in S2 !!

[paolo lalli]

Ferrari seem to be good with the rubber verstappen 3 sets of softs vs Charles 1 set only to be split by virtually nothing bodes well for the race itself.

[tifosi1993]

I would be happy with pole, but we had poles in Spain and Monaco as well and couldn't convert it.

But Charles always keeps an extra tenth or two on the table in Q1 and Q2. In Q3 we'll see the true pace.

[elnano14]

Yeah we were much faster than them in S2 all weekend until today qualifying. Either we're holding back or something else is going on there

[PURE PASSION]

Lec went to the toilet.
It's a pole!!!!!!

[Riccardog]

I am quite disappointed that we haven't resolved the porpoising...

[tifosi1993]

Mick only has the "Schumacher" surname, nothing else.

Great lap from Bottas.

[458 Italia]

That Haas is losing the development race.

[tifosi1993]

That Haas is losing the development race.

They also have one of the weakest driver line up. Mick maybe only better than Latifi.

Yup… it’s better to give chance to others rather than crashing the car every race.

[tifosi1993]

Magnussen-Hulkenberg line up is eye catching and will help Haas out massively.

But the power of that surname is immense.

Or your dad owns the team??? (Stroll, another useless driver).

[tifosi1993]

Ferrari turning up. Hopefully Carlos will be able to keep up Charles in the Q3.

Ferrari 1-2 on used softs!

[paolo lalli]

Yes that's correct used soft tyres they are excellent times.

[drax]

Charles lap was on 11 lap old tires ? Sainz also on used. Where the RBs on used softs also ?

[PURE PASSION]

Ferrari 1-2 on used softs!

Are you sure???
It can't be with this times

[ferrari1.8t]

The goat needs a tow to make it into q3…lol

[ferrari1.8t]

Sky said we were on used. I don’t have any data to back it up though…

Might even get a grid penalty yet.

[PURE PASSION]

I mean it's impossible to be so close on lap times and we to be on used tires and RBRs on new!! There's no way we are 0,5s faster then them (difference new->old) in Baku

[gump1480]

Ferrari 1-2 on used softs!

Impossible man !!

[PURE PASSION]

I read also that the live timing was showing Lec on 10l old tires and Ves on 4lap old.
But they've made some mistakes in live timing before so we will see
