F1 Baku, Qualifying Report
Charles Leclerc is the host in Baku. For the fourth time in a row, the Monegasque takes pole position on the Azerbaijani street circuit, and does so with a very important demonstration of strength: 1:41.365 and three tenths of a second ahead of Oscar Piastri, who steals the front row from Carlos Sainz at the last minute.
For the Monegasque – at his 26th career pole – it is another great opportunity to chase away bad thoughts: after finally having transformed the pole position into a victory in Monte-Carlo, breaking the taboo of the home GP, the Ferrari driver wants to do the same in Azerbaijan, where due to reliability problems and lack of pace he has never gone beyond third place.
