Monster lap by Russell. 0.001s between P2 and P3!
Gasly and Hadjar qualify ahead of Verstappen.
Williams cooked with this weight reduction, finally getting into Q3 is great progress. Shame Audi couldn't find any pace today, but it looks like this isn't a good circuit for their current car for now.
I have a feeling race tomorrow is gonna be great
Grid penalty of 5 places for Sainz for not properly slowing down for yellow flags lmao
Wow, damage for Antonelli and he's done with quali.
Azerbaijan to championship leaders last year and this year:
Yes getting Piastri vibes -__-
