An incredible race, full of twists and above all…withdrawals. The Red Bulls stretch, and begin to escape in both the drivers' and constructors' championships.
What a tragic day
The most total disaster. There are no other terms to describe what happened at home Ferrari. Another knockout. After Monaco, in which however important points had arrived, it was necessary to respond present in Baku. Again, all of this in qualifying it had been done. Leclerc started from pole, while Sainz fourth. However, for the Spaniard, the race didn't last long. In fact, the number 55 on the grid had to stop for a plumbing problem. First problem at Maranello, but that's not all. In fact, the next to be hit was Charles Leclerc. The start by the Monegasque was not flawless, but in any case (following the pit stop performed) Leclerc was in first position. All still to be played, until round 20. The Monaco F1-75 goes up in smoke. It's another problem Power Units. Another ko The second in the last three races. Leclerc is also forced to say goodbye to the race ahead of time, as well as all of Ferrari because today, for the Reds, was a defeat in all respects.
Mercedes breathes
He took full advantage of it Mercedes. In fact, the Brackley team thanks Ferrari and concludes at third place with Russell, more and more jewel of the team, et al fourth place with Lewis Hamilton. Despite the problem pouring, evident throughout the race, finally comes a good result for the seven-times world champion. An important signal for Lewis, while Russell continues to consolidate his fourth position in the drivers' championship. There's still a lot to work for the German team, but the performance in Baku undoubtedly allows everyone to draw a shot big sigh of relief.
The top ten
Pierre confirms himself MVP of the day without a doubt gasly. The French rider brings the brand to the top Alpha Tauri concluding at fifth place in the standings, in front of Sebastian Hag. Even for the four-times world champion it was an almost perfect weekend, but above all a race. The German was very good at keeping his position on Fernando Alonso who manages to finish in the top ten together with his teammate Ocon. Between the two Alpines, the McLaren di Ricciardo eighth and Norris ninth. The Woking team also tries to raise its head again after three days, excluding the race, which can absolutely be reviewed.
