Ferrari versus Red Bull. Here is the grid for the Azerbaijan GP

Charles will start from the front row of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, as always Leclerc. The Monegasque will leave from the pole with the Red Bull next to it, but not that of the world champion. In second position we find Sergio's RB18 Perez, followed by his teammate Verstappen, which still can't find the complete feeling with the car. The other one closes the second row Ferrari by Carlos Sainz. Both cars are the dominators of this weekend, and also of the championship. In Baku, during the race pace simulation, one team did not emerge dominant over the other so it will be a Grand Prix in which strategy (and any safety cars) can also make the difference.

After Ferrari and Red Bull

The third row is opened by George Russell. The pilot of Mercedes he is the only one trying to carry forward a project, linked to the W13, which is not convincing at all. The Englishman will be joined by Pierre gasly who appears to be one of the best drivers on track this weekend. Seventh time instead for Lewis Hamilton, with Yuki next to him tsunoda. To conclude the top ten, two veterans could not be missing on a track like Baku: Hag, who will start in ninth position, and Alonso which will start from the tenth box.

Out of the top ten

Coming instead to the disappointments of qualifying, McLaren with Lando is in eleventh and twelfth position Norris and Daniel Ricciardo. Still too many problems for the Woking team who are unable to find the right fit with the car. Updates are needed, even if team principal Seidl stated: “Without a budget cap increase, it won't be easy“. It won't be easy either Or with starting from the thirteenth square, followed by the two Alfa di Zhou e Bottas.

On the bottom

In fact, they are very disappointing for now this weekend the Ferrari powered ones. In addition to the difficulties for Alfa, Haas does not go beyond sixteenth position with Magnussen and the last one with Mick Schumacher.

This will therefore be the starting grid for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Everything is ready for turning off the traffic lights, scheduled for 13.00 hours! Good fun!
