Lo que si fue constante y no cambio ni por una vuelta fue Ferrari con Leclerc, sumamente dominante en este circuito y por cuarto año vuelve y hace Pole en Baku, podra convertir en victoria?

This Saturday morning was the qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and it was full of surprises, from history for Argentina with a driver in Q3 with Franco Colapinto in the Williams qualifying above Alex Albon, Red Bull could say they had a good role even though both Checo and Verstappen had moments where they almost lost control qualifying in 4 and 6 each. What was constant and did not change even for a lap was Ferrari with Leclerc, extremely dominant in this circuit and for the fourth year he returns and makes Pole in Baku, can he turn it into a victory?

The Ferrari's are on point, that Lecrec is this fast is understandable, the man is doing very well on the Baku circuit and he is one of the fastest drivers on the grid but it is worth noting that Sainz had an excellent qualifying, the strange thing is that no one was talking about Sainz and it makes me a little sad because he is an excellent driver with a lot of cold blood, even the Sky commentators did not talk about his performance, maybe he went unnoticed because his qualifying was progressive almost being out in Q1 but the truth is that the track was still not at its best, and for Q2 if as the cars were doing more laps all the dust that was on the track was rising, typical of Baku, the tires were getting hot, in Q2 he was seventh and in the end he was able to get into third behind and very close to the McLaren with Oscar Piastri.

En la Q1 les fue normal nada extraordinario pero al iwal que muchos otros pilotos Russell supo aprobechar cuando en la Q2 la pista se puso a tono y pasa de cuarto en la Q2 mientras Hamilton la verdad empeso a degradar su paso, ambos pasan a la Q3 pero tuvieron inconvenientes con el auto diria yo de balance, no creo que halla sido trafico o condicion de pista ya que en la entrevista que le hicieron a Hamilton el comenta que si el auto se sentia bien el fin de semana y que tenia la idea que podrian clasificar mejor, tal ves no en la primera fila pero pero almenos entre los cuaro primeros, clasificando 5 y 7 en un circuito como Baku es algo problematico y es posible que dividan la estrategia para el dia de carrera donde uno de los dos salga con neumaticos duros (blancos) y se valla a lo largo y creo que podria ser Russell ya que a el como que le gusta ese plan, ya lo hemos visto hacerlo en otras carreras, mientras que Hamilton tal ves salga con neumaticos medios y buscar remontar posiciones pero esta dificil teniendo a Checo tercer, Verstappen sexto y Alonso octavo osea tienen defensa y ataque por todos lados los del equipo de Mercedes.

Mercedes had been doing well during the weekend, they were relatively fast in free practice yesterday and today. In Q1 they were normal, nothing extraordinary, but like many other drivers Russell knew how to take advantage when in Q2 the track got up to speed and went from fourth in Q2 while Hamilton actually started to degrade his pace, both went to Q3 but they had problems with the car, I would say, of balance, I don't think it was traffic or track conditions as in the interview with Hamilton he commented that the car felt good this weekend and he had the idea that they could qualify better, maybe not on the front row but at least in the top four, Qualifying 5th and 7th in a circuit like Baku is a bit problematic and it is possible that they will split the strategy for race day where one of the two will start with hard tires (white) and go long and I think it could be Russell as he likes that plan, we have seen him do it in other races, while Hamilton may start with medium tires and look to move up positions but it is difficult having Checo third, Verstappen sixth and Alonso eighth, so they have defense and attack from all sides of the Mercedes team.

Durante la semana habian sacado un comunicado de que a partir de Baku ivan a apollar cien por ciento a Norris en el campeonato de pilotos y que Piastri iva a hacer lo mismo, no nos olvidemos que el manager de Piastri es Mark Weber asi que no hablemos de compañerismo pero en todo caso esa fue la orden del equipo, para luego en clasificacion quedar como tremendos pendejos.

McLaren has not ceased to be a topic of conversation at any time since last year at Silverstone when they had that great race where they surprised many but unfortunately even in the victories they shit. During the week they had released a statement that from Baku they were going to support Norris one hundred percent in the drivers championship and that Piastri was going to do the same, let's not forget that Piastri's manager is Mark Weber so let's not talk about partnership but in any case that was the order of the team, and then in qualifying they looked like tremendous assholes.

https://img.inleo.io/DQmQWQif5Qiay65HUKY8pMvGE2ypETbGYXSSDmn6LNzU8aJ/image-46.png [Fuente de imagen](https://f1.tv/) Faltando tres minutos para que se termine la Q1 Norris y Piastri estaban en peligro, la pista se estaba empesando a poner en mejor condicion para bajar tiempos, ambos pilotos de McLaren estan en pits y salen faltando 2:55 minutos para que se acabe la Q2 lo cual solo les bastaria para una vuelta lenta de calentamiento y una rapida a ver si no se quedaban fuera, cuando Ricciardo pasa la meta en el RB queda por ensima de ambos McLaren, el agua no se mescla con el aceite, el RB no es mas rapido que ninguno de los dos McLaren, sencillamente hubo un cambio drastico en la condicion de la pista lo cual es totalmente natural y predecible almenos que hubiese mal tiempo, llamese lluvia, esto siempre pasa ya sea al final de Q1 o a medio de Q2.

With three minutes to go before the end of Q1 Norris and Piastri were in danger, the track was beginning to get in better condition to lower times, both McLaren drivers are in the pits and come out with 2 minutes to go: 55 minutes to the end of Q2 which would only be enough for a slow warm up lap and a fast one to see if they were not left out, when Ricciardo passes the finish line in the RB is above both McLaren, the water does not mix with the oil, the RB is not faster than either McLaren, there was simply a drastic change in track conditions which is totally natural and predictable unless there was bad weather, call it rain, this always happens either at the end of Q1 or in the middle of Q2.

https://img.inleo.io/DQmdvTKPxcyXn4U3KGzHhqPwadvVj3TrFKqkQrAH2vQsQ5t/image-47-1.png [Fuente de imagen](https://f1.tv/) Algunos comentaristas hablan de que Norris se quedo en la Q1 por una bandera amarilla que sacaron en el ultimo sector, que va hermano, se quedaron por confiados, por andar webiando. - Teniendo a 9 pilotos por detras que podian hacer mejor vuelta que ellos en el momento, se les ocurre seguir con neumaticos usados por estar guardando para la Q3 - Norris se trempo en la curva y le surro todo el auto, se paso en velocidad - Venia haciendo tiempo similar a Verstappen asi que lento no iva Casi todos los que clasificaron en la Q1 salieron con neumaticos nuevos sabiendo que la pista se estaba poniendo mejor, deverdad que hacen el ridiculo con su “Papaya Rules” y diciendo que ahora si van a apollar a Norris cuando tenian que haberse dictado esa orden hace tres carreras atras. Con esto que acaba de pasar Norris saldra de 17, ni Verstappen con el RB19 el año pasado gana esa carrera almenos que se saque de la manga una como la de Checo en Force India. Si Leclerc gana la carrera mañana quedaria por ensima de Norris, se va a la verga la orden de que Piastri tiene que apollar a Norris y tal ves seria casi imposible que Norris sino sumente dificil que gane el campeonato.

Some commentators talk about Norris staying in Q1 because of a yellow flag in the last sector, what a brother, they stayed because they were confident, because they were webiando. - Having 9 drivers behind them that could do a better lap than them at the time, they thought to continue with used tires because they were saving for Q3. - Norris crashed in the corner and the whole car spun out, he went too fast. - He was doing a similar time to Verstappen so he was not slow. Almost everyone who qualified in Q1 went out with new tires knowing that the track was getting better, they really make a fool of themselves with their "Papaya Rules" and saying that now they are going to support Norris when they should have issued that order three races ago. With this that just happened Norris will start 17th, not even Verstappen with the RB19 last year wins that race unless he pulls one out of his sleeve like Checo did at Force India. If Leclerc wins the race tomorrow he would be above Norris, the order that Piastri has to support Norris goes to hell and maybe it would be almost impossible for Norris if not extremely difficult for him to win the championship.

That start tomorrow will be in bomb with Leclerc and Piastri ahead, Piastri runs the McLaren as if he were in a GoKart and watch out for a red flag and whoever can save himself, it would be perhaps the best thing that could happen for Red Bull and well maybe for Norris even though so far back I do not think he will advance anything if there is a red flag on the first lap, Piastri knows how difficult it is to pass in Baku, I mean he doesn't have much experience on the track but he knows it, he will try to pass on the first lap without hesitation and as we have seen he is very very aggressive with the late braking, I hope that like the qualifying tomorrow the race will be very very good.
