Russell topped both Thursday practice sessions and set the FP2 benchmark at 1:43.347. Antonelli recovered from a hydraulic problem in FP1 and lost further running in FP2 before finishing second, giving Mercedes a 1-2 ahead of qualifying day. Friday is forecast to be cooler and windier, with a chance of showers around qualifying — another variable for pole. 🔥 VERSTAPPEN GETS RED BULL'S FINAL 2026 PACKAGE Red Bull have brought five declared upgrades to Azerbaijan, including a revised floor plus sidepod and mirror-area changes. Laurent Mekies says it is most likely the final significant Red Bull upgrade of 2026. Verstappen finished third in FP2 while reporting poor ride from the car. Can he turn that pace into a pole challenge? 🔴 LECLERC'S BAKU QUALIFYING RECORD Charles Leclerc has taken four pole positions in Baku and finished Thursday FP2 fourth, ahead of Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton in fifth. Ferrari were more than a second away from Russell in FP2 — but qualifying around Baku has repeatedly produced surprises. Can Leclerc make it five Baku poles, or can Hamilton launch a challenge? 🟠 McLAREN NEED MORE Lando Norris finished sixth in FP2 as McLaren ended Thursday behind Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari on the headline times. With Baku demanding huge straight-line speed, braking confidence and energy deployment, qualifying will expose exactly where McLaren stand. 💥 ALONSO + STROLL GRID PENALTIES Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll are set for major Azerbaijan GP grid penalties after Aston Martin exceeded Honda power unit component allocations. Their Saturday starts are heavily compromised. 📊 F1 LIVE TIMING + MINI TRACK • F1 Live Timing • Mini track visuals • Q1, Q2 and Q3 sector analysis • Track evolution • Tyres and lap preparation • Team radio reaction • Pole position battle • Tony Craig F1 Live commentary 🇦🇿 F1 GRANDSTAND BAKU WATCHALONGS — UK TIMES FRIDAY 12:30 — Qualifying 19:30 — F1 News SATURDAY 11:30 — Race 👇 JOIN THE LIVE CHAT Who takes pole in Baku?
