An absolutely forgettable Grand Prix. Ferrari a Baku turns out to be a flop. Red Bull triumphs, indeed dominates, in Azerbaijan, winning thanks to Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez. Another one-two for the Austrian team that wins and extends in the world championship, both for riders and manufacturers. The Mercedes of the now classic George Russell takes the last step of the podium.
Red disaster
For the Ferrari instead it was late at night. In addition to Leclerc, who had problems with the Power Unit, Carlos Sainz also had to retire due to a reliability problem on his F1-75. We are talking about a problem with the hydraulic system while he was in fourth position. So it really hurts, considering the Spaniard's weekend. The feeling with the F1-75 was growing more and more and trying to materialize in the race could, and should have been, an important push for him and for the whole team. In Maranello we will still have to think, work and understand what went wrong, because in this way the road, if you want to fight for the title, is completely uphill.
Sainz's words
A surprise for him too. In fact, we are talking about a problem related to the hydraulic system, precisely to the braking system, which Sainz, in the race post, tried to explain to Sky's microphones as follows: “I was managing the tires in the first few laps, then as soon as I started pushing there was a hydraulic problem. There was no sign of reliability problems, we are surprised but we will react starting from next week's Canadian GP".
