FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX 2025.....Qualifying........▄▀▄▀▄▀ SPOILERS ▄▀▄▀▄▀

That track is a mess.

Anyway I see no reason why this won't be a cakewalk for Max.

 

SC/Red flags will certainly play a factor though

 

Max ... again !!!

 

LOL!!!!!!!!! GO Oscar lol

 

Based on Monza and the aero thats predictable overall. He just needs to gain up through the city sector and he should clear for a given time. How long others take to clear slower runners will be interesting. The gains for others are in sector 2.

 

The start and passing and tactics will be interesting. The only really good tire is the medium overall.

 

Similar to when he tossed a win in France I believe. Baku was not friendly today.

 

It's not all the team or car. The drivers at Ferrari since the Alonso era, have been underwhelming in their performances.

Kimi's second go around was a joke. He was nothing like his first stint at Ferrari. Vettel was damaged goods after being shown up at Red Bull by Riccardo, and the team didn't realize how reliant he was on the car to be perfect to overcome his mistakes. Leclerc is a mess emotionally. Fast, with moment of brilliance like Montoya, but he drives the car too hard, and still can't control his emotions. Sainz was solid, but no championship material.

And Hamilton? Jesus. The guy is totally lost in this new era of car. He simply can't drive any of these cars like he could the previous generation, and his skills are declining worse by the week.

Look what Max is doing with a Red Bull that is nothing compared to the McLaren. He's making things happen. Dramatic things. He's in control of his emotions, and just figures out what he needs to do different. If he was at Ferrari, I have no doubt that he would've won a race or two this year for them.

 

I am not sure the Monza low downforce set up is the best solution in Baku with its numerous 90° corners.

 

Give Lawson the seat back, Yuki.

 

F needs to dump LH and vapeur.

 

Yep, being Verstappen team mate in a new car with an unknown home-made powertrain.
Good luck with that !!

 

Max unreal.

 

now that was a quali session, boring up to the end but did shake it up

 

RedBull based a majority of the rear aero on that wing from Monza in a majority of reports. Clearly the 90 slow to mid speed Max can handle with respect to the car.

 

Some other 'god's need to intervene for him lol

 

Good job the McLaren drivers are well ahead of the championship, because Qualifs didn't do them any favour.
Ferrari ? Very "underwhelming" at Baku so far, to paraphrase Toto Wolf.

 

Cheers to Carlos.

 

everyone tumble and fumble but max once again on top of it

the weekend where oscar looks terrible yet lando only managed 7th lol

 

Chuck's near 11 minute qualy lap has to be some sort of record
