2022 Azerbaijan Grand Prix - Baku, June 10 - 12

Sigh. Sainz is always the nearly man. A front row was almost guaranteed!

[chrisc90]

Should be interesting come the first few laps tomorrow given the stronger straight line speed of the RB.

Might it be another pole where Charles loses a win after starting on pole.

(Sainz spanked once again)

at least he didn't cause a yellow to keep pole

Checo gonna overtake him at the end of first lap

[GrizzleBoy]

I can see Ferrari letting Checo by tomorrow to pincer Max between their drivers.

Charles must hold the record for the most poles with the least amount of wins. Correct me if i am wrong. That last lap was epic. Was he really half a second up on S2? I thought the timings glitched.

[siskue2005]

Very poor by Hamilton. He's getting smashed by Russell. Doesn't bother me too much because the car is not really fighting for anything.

Not bad.. George with Lewis's tow is .2 tenth ahead so, not so bad. Once car will be sorted (if at all), he should be back with his proper game.

Yeah you are right. George got the tow this time.

George was 0.071 sec faster in s1 and 0.100 sec faster in s3. Without the slipstream it would have been very close.

More than that Perez has now genuinely been faster than Max is qualifying for 2 races in a row now. Perez is looking very good for the championship

You keep repeating this story about straight line speed advantage... It's not there man, I'm not sure what is your source for it but it's just not there.

Yeah, I expect this will be a Miami V2. Where the Ferrari with DRS couldnt pass the RB with no DRS. 9kmh was mentioned by SKY. Does anyone know how much speed DRS is worth on this track?

Guess you didnt watch Miami? Could a Ferrari with DRS pass the RB with no DRS?

[Spoutnik]

Perez isn't really good usually in qualy, he's on the form of his life...

[fouad1979]

between the Redb ferrari and the rest is 1.5 s its huge the new regulation is joke or the rest of teams are so bad

Yes has the record for it now... only Nico rosberg did that in 2015 and also jaun Pablo montoyo in 2003 I believe. But leclerc has had poor luck in the last few races he will get back to winning once he is lucky

Expecting the Ferrari to eat his rear tyres.
I would mention too that Perez lost a bit of PU performance according to his post qualy radio

What!?! Ideally you want as many cars as possible in between you and your main rival, not to have him on your tail so he could overtake you with his superior straight line speed...
