The qualifying has finished! Here we have the results.



Leclerc has the pole position, yes!    I'm really satisfied with that. I was expecting him to be competitive for pole position once again just as he got the pole here in the previous three years.

You will question why Norris couldn't even qualify for Q2 as well of course. He made a mistake and couldn't have a proper lap. But I was really shocked with the way he messed up in such a long time period.

Perez must have got past Verstappen for the first time in qualifying in a long while. He is really good as for street tracks. I think Leclerc will win the race tomorrow.

I was lucky and tipped Ferrari with Leclerc on pole position, the Friday practice was decisive for my tip to tip Ferrari on pole position. I hope Ferrari can also realise their performance in the race and have a good strategy to win.

I wonder what the cash-out for Leclerc is right now, down from 6:1 to 1.85
And why is Lando still the favorite for the fastest lap on par with Max? Wtf am I missing here, am I looking at the same grid as everyone else?

Oh btw, since we're still at funny moments

Piastri was told by McLaren to support Lando's driver's title race after what happened last weekend.

I can imagine Piastri now looking at the staff and doing the most annoying HOTD quote of the year:
"What would you have me do?"

Anyone betting on a crash/collision on the first lap as I see too many with something to prove this race?

What a qualyfication guys, really good one it was.

No super crash and a few super news, really impresed by the rookies, Oliver Bearman and Colapinto both making a super performance in a very difficult track.

The most important think it was the failure of Lando Norris, what happened with him? The car have the pace to be on the fight, really bad for him in his will of fight for the championship.

Tomorrow is a new chance for him ,in Baku you can have so much Safety car and be back on top like no other circuit.

I was watching P3 and I was saying to myself that if Perez grabs top 3 again I'm going to quit watching this thing  
I swear if the guy suddenly redeems himself and starts getting solid points I quit putting one dime on F1, it would be like all my theories going to ash and dust.
Perez 4th Verstappen 6th, common....

Perez knows Baku, Perez likes Baku. And well.. it was also helped, overly surprisingly, by Verstappen, to get to 4th.
For me a real surprise is what Colapinto was managed to do (and he almost could have done much better).

I'll say it again:

imho Baku is all about correct reflexes, not necessarily the best car, so it may come with interesting results.

On Newey's contract... while I do expect Ferrari quite resistant against big changes (personnel, strategy, ..), I still think that it was about money. And, as @rdbase said, some shares added to the salary package.
