Formula 1 returns to the track this Saturday (20) in Baku, and F1 defines the starting grid in the qualification scheduled for 09h00 (Brasília time).

What to expect from the time trials
Baku combines long straights with narrow sections, and the search for vacuum in the final Q3 often yields precious tenths. Managing traffic is crucial, especially in the “castle” area, where mistakes are costly. The trend is to see teams saving a set of tires for two decisive attempts in the final minutes. Keep an eye on who positions themselves better on the warm-up lap: losing the “hook” can mean dropping several positions.
Wake up early for TL3 at 05h30, come back at 09h00 to follow who takes the pole, and follow everything in real-time on F1MANIA.NET. Tomorrow, the race starts at 08h00, with a promise of emotion until the last lap on Baku’s seaside avenue.
