And if you like direct, no-nonsense videos like this, leave a like to support our work, here at GP EM CASA Plus ! Well, this weekend, we’ve seen a lot happen on the track, with Red Bull doing several tests on their car, trying to bring back some parts from previous specifications to try to solve some problems and make the car more balanced for the drivers. drivers who have suffered a lot in recent races, and thus, some rivals are getting closer in the constructors’ and even drivers’ championship. Speaking of lap times, the car even improved when it comes to fast lap times. However, the settings used by the team so far could put the race pace at risk, as Red Bull’s straight speed was much lower than its rivals’ straight speed. Other teams are also testing improvements, such as Ferrari and Aston Martin, which have also shown much more acceptable performance, and expected a good result again in this classification. So, starting with Q1, the first part of this classification, which lasts 18 minutes and eliminates the 5 slowest cars, we saw that several cars immediately took to the track in search of their first attempts, as the chance of red flags and accidents were high, so the sooner a lap time was guaranteed, the more chances of not being eliminated in the first part. At the start of Q1, there were doubts in the air regarding the Haas car, as the mechanics were still working to repair the front of Bearman’s car, which had an accident during free practice 3. But, fortunately, the team managed to release the car at the beginning of the session, with the driver not suffering any losses in this part. A curious thing is that George Russell and Lewis Hamilton took to the track with medium tires in their first attempt, perhaps to do some tests and save a set of soft tires for the end. And after the first lap of most drivers, the fastest was Sergio Perez, who has had a good weekend so far, with Leclerc in second and Verstappen in third. In the elimination zone at that time were Gasly, Hulkenberg, Ocon, Zhou and Sainz, who did not achieve a good lap on his first attempt. After setting the third fastest time, Verstappen complained on the radio that his car was jumping a lot, especially in curves, asking his team to check what was happening when he stopped in the pits. In Q1, most drivers chose to stay on the track and do more than one fast lap before making the first tire change, with some managing to improve their times well, with Sainz moving up to second and Colapinto staying in third with 8 minutes to go. the end of this first part. After stopping to change tires, the cars returned to the track for a few more lap attempts, with Tsunoda managing to improve his time, Russell and Hamilton setting times on soft tires and also making a big jump and Colapinto surprising among the 10 first. With 1 minute left, Verstappen was only 12th, close to the elimination zone, with both Aston Martin cars in the elimination zone and a lot could happen. In this last attempt, Ocon ended up crashing his car, but managed to take it to the garage very slowly, without causing a red flag but hindering some laps. Verstappen managed to set a good time, but had to use an extra set of tires to achieve this lap. And with time running out, Leclerc was fastest, Alex Albon second and Oscar Piastri third. And at the end, Esteban Ocon was eliminated, who was last, with Guanyu Zhou in 19th, Valtteri Bottas in 18th, Lando Norris in 17th, not managing a good lap at the end, making a mistake and having to abandon his lap, with Daniel Ricciardo starting in 16th place. Arriving at Q2, which lasts 15 minutes and also eliminates the 5 slowest drivers, most of the cars took to the track immediately, with only Gasly and Stroll taking a little longer for their first attempts. And after the first fast lap, the Red Bull duo took the lead, with Verstappen in first and Perez in second, with Oscar Piastri close behind in third. In the elimination zone at that moment were Lance Stroll, Tsunoda, Gasly, Alonso and Colapinto, but with very small differences between them all and everything was once again undefined. This time, after the first fast lap, the cars went to the pits to change tires, waiting a while to return to the track for their last attempts. And with 3 minutes to go, most people came back for another attempt, with Leclerc asking for help from his team to get some space at some point, as they were always riding alone while their rivals benefited from that help. With time running out, Verstappen was the fastest in Q2, with Leclerc in second and Sergio Perez in third. Colapinto managed to qualify for Q3 in his Williams, with his teammate Alex Albon also doing well and placing tenth. Those eliminated were Lance Stroll, who will be 15th, Hulkenberg in 14th, Gasly in 13th, Tsunoda in 12th and Oliver Bearman in 11th. Finally, Q3, the decisive part of the classification, which lasts 12 minutes and defines the top 10 placed at the start of the race on Sunday. And with time running short, everyone took to the track, with Russell and Hamilton leading the field and being the first to open a fast lap. After that first attempt, Leclerc was fastest, with Sainz second and Piastri third. Verstappen was only sixth, with Albon seventh and Colapinto eighth. Even about Verstappen, he made a mistake in that first lap, which was probably the loss he had in his first attempt. As expected, everyone went to the pits to change tires and then go out for their last attempts, where with 3 minutes to go the cars started to leave and Perez hurried his team to get out quickly and not finish last. During the cars’ exit, Alex Albon’s Williams stopped on the track, as the team ended up forgetting to remove the fan that cools the car’s engine, a ridiculous mistake by Williams that could cost the team dearly, thus delaying the race a little. progress of things and leaving time even shorter. The pilot simply removed this piece and told the inspectors to remove it, continuing his journey normally. With just one chance, the drivers went for it all or nothing, with the Mercedes not making a big leap and remaining practically where they were. Piastri improved his time and made a jump, with Leclerc also improving his time in the lead, with Verstappen and Perez not achieving good times and so, with time running out, Charles Leclerc will be in pole position at the Azerbaijan GP, ​​the fourth consecutive pole for the driver on this circuit. Oscar Piastri will start in second and Carlos Sainz in third. Completing the top 10, Sergio Perez will be fourth, with Russell in fifth, Verstappen only in sixth, Lewis Hamilton in seventh, Alonso in eighth, Colapinto in ninth and Albon in tenth place. Even with the error, the highlight goes to Williams who took their two drivers to Q3, with especially the Argentine rookie deserving praise for his excellent performance on a circuit as challenging as this one. And with these positions, everything is interesting for the championship, as Verstappen is not doing so well, Norris will not start in a good position either, and a lot will certainly happen this Sunday. So, tell me in the comments: What did you think of this classification and another pole by Charles Leclerc?
