Who will start tomorrow from pole in the bustling city of Baku?
Q1
Like the mercedes-benz stand at the front, followed by Bottas. It should be clear that the German power is in advantage on this circuit, the longest straight stretch of the entire F1 calendar. Grosjean verremt and running with a beautiful pirouette back on to the track. The first time of Max Verstappen is 1.1 seconds slower than that of the number 1, but Max writes, however, the provisional highest top speed with 354 km/h. A unique event, since the TAG Heuer motor not to book, stands as the most powerful of the field. It suggests that Red Bull with few wing runs.
Grosjean verremt again, as well as Lewis Hamilton. Both riders know without damage their way to prosecute. Rosberg is set at P1, followed by Hamilton, Perez, Ricciardo, Bottas, Hulkenberg and were times. Max Verstappen close to P8, 1.2 count the fastest time.
It may indeed be said that the job in Azerbaijan is still quite nice looks. We could probably take on the huge straight piece and in the tight corners tomorrow best what action to expect.
Haryanto, Button, Werhlein, Palmer, Magnussen and Ericsson are the kid, their time was not fast enough. Max drops eventually by the way down to P10.
Q2
Soon to the second part of the qualification in which five names of the list are deleted. Nico Hulkenberg will drive a little outside the racing line and going in circles. He also can without damage to his road. Rosberg is driving to make a point just a second faster than during Q1 and converts the entire competition to see.
Then Max the job, and I see that it is the young scheurneus after Monaco do not become afraid for racing circuits. All sliding and slipping looking for Max the limit of his Red Bull. The car put especially at the release of the bends at the back now and then step aside. Max put nevertheless, the preliminary third time on the clock.
Hamilton has a problem. The champion stands at P10 because he had an earlier yellow flag situation. During a quick round verremt Hamilton, however, and so is still the question of whether he Q3 is going to catch up. That will not work with ease, however, at a second of team-mate Rosberg.
Grosjean, Hulkenberg, Sainz, Alonso, Gutierrez and Nasr fall off.
Q3
Lewis Hamilton verremt for the change and ruined a pair of front tires. Max has it in the meantime to stick with Bottas, he believes that the Fin to him, bothered at the start of turn 1. It does mean, however, that our countryman with 4 minutes to go no time has dropped.
Action in the tent! Lewis Hamilton parks his car in the wall and the z’n time does not improve. It leads to a red flag. The crash is reminiscent of the error that Verstappen during the qualification for the GP of Monaco.
After the lifting of the red flag-situation, wait several riders, including Max, at the end of the pitlane until the green light goes. However, he has lot of cars for themselves while the time is running out. It is therefore to be seen if the youngest GP winner ever a decent time on the clock.
Meanwhile, is Olav Mol to 3 minutes Max at the front was waiting in the pitlane, but that was a team-mate Ricciardo. Confusion abounds.
Rosberg was an early ready. The German put in the beginning of Q3, a time where no one in the neighborhood would come. Perez and Ricciardo make the top 3 complete and Max start on P9 before Lewis Hamilton. That is undoubtedly fireworks, tomorrow at the start to 15:00 Dutch time. We had the idea that Max suffered from the many traffic on the track, but perhaps it was the round just a bit less. That, of course, can also.
