La Qualy promete espectáculo tras lo visto en las 2 primeras prácticas, siempre los días viernes se deja entrever un poco el orden de la parrilla y quienes son los favoritos para el domingo, pero siempre hay que ver los resultados con cautela, debido a los diferentes planes que lleva cada equipo, cargas de combustible y entre otros factores.
Qualy promises spectacle after what we saw in the first 2 practices, always on Fridays we get a glimpse of the order of the grid and who are the favorites for Sunday, but we always have to see the results with caution, due to the different plans that each team has, fuel loads and other factors.
Some drivers touched the walls and others went long, there was a red flag and VSC (Virtual Safety Car), and in short many mistakes that can be costly if repeated tomorrow, let's review a little of what the free practices left us between the positive and negative of today.
Positivos:
Positives:
First of all, I will focus on free practices 2, which usually have the most valuable information for qualifying and race, with this already explained let's start. The brand new leaders, the "Red Bulls" arrived in Baku in a rage, dominating the two sessions, Max in the first, Checo in the second, and with a very fast pace in long runs, top favorites, and if Perez does a good qualifying, a double is possible in this circuit. The cavallino, Scuderia Ferrari, surprised by the strength of its car shown in Monaco, we all thought it would stay there, even them, but what we saw today was encouraging, and excites more than one tifosi, in fast lap they are very close to the Red Bulls, but in long run some problems were seen, even so we do not know the fuel load they were carrying, the two drivers very well, Sainz highlighted without mistakes, but Charles made one that could have been more expensive, broke wing in turn 15 after blocking the wheels, the ghosts of the past haunt the Monegasque. Gasly and Tsunoda went back to their old ways, with a very fast AT02 they placed the car in the top 10, fresh air for the Japanese who came in a bad dynamic, although they are only practices, this will give him confidence to face the rest of the weekend. Alpine's improvements are working, or so it seems, the French placed their two cars in the top 10, with Alonso 6th, it is a good omen, hopefully they can get good points from this race, with the mid zone tighter than ever, they need to hit the table and overcome. Although the McLaren cars were good in the first practice, in the second it was more confusing, even so a motivated Norris placed his car 8th, and it is known that Woking usually hide a little on Friday, we will see if Ricciardo is able to get close to Lando and give the team a hand in the fight for the world championship. The positive was extended as the competition is more closed, evidence is that the Alfa Romeo were very competitive in the middle area, Giovinazzi shines again with his fastest lap and placed the C41 among the best, hopefully he can repeat and continue his rise as a driver.
Negativo:
Expectativas altas para lo que pueda suceder el día de mañana en la clasificación que promete dar más de una sorpresa en cada sesión de la misma, solo resta esperar a que el semáforo se ponga en verde y de inicio al primer round de esta duela. En mi caso mañana tocara levantarse temprano y ver como se escribe una página en la historia de este bello deporte.
Negative:
Crisis at Mercedes, the Germans had a gray Friday, they are totally lost and do not get a good performance to the W12, the two drivers out of the top 10, something very strange to see, Wolff already warned that it would be complicated in Baku, but no one expected this drop in performance, even so in long runs are comparable to the Ferrari, but do not reach the level of its current competitor for the title, perhaps tomorrow we will see a better Mercedes, as they are the champions and are always fast, however it is very difficult to achieve victory in this appointment. Aston Martin follows the path of Mercedes, both cars with low "Rake", and are quite affected by the reduction of downforce, the salvageable is its German power unit that stands out above all in the long straight of the track, but they fail to be competitive and are lagging behind before their championship rivals. Williams and Haas complete, still in their world, the Williams only outperform the Haas, a situation that sadly repeats itself circuit to circuit and this will be the same, this weekend will be more difficult for "Mr. Saturday" George Russell to get into Q2, but let's not give up.
High expectations for what may happen tomorrow in the qualifying that promises to give more than one surprise in each session, just wait for the light to turn green and start the first round of this pain. In my case, tomorrow I will have to get up early and see how a page is written in the history of this beautiful sport.
