Lu Qini won 4 consecutive qualifying races, but he only stepped on the podium in the American race. Tonight, he raced first in the Azerbaijan race and was overtaken by another Red Bull driver, Perez, who was in the front row. Another Ferrari driver, Sinis, withdrew from the race with a broken car within 10 laps. Lu Qini also suffered the same fate and withdrew following 10 laps. The last championship champion stepped on the podium for 5 consecutive stops, and Russell of Heiji also picked up the season following one stop.
Ferrari lost all of the standings today, allowing Wei Shao, who was leading the driver’s standings, to expand his advantage. Red Bull had a 36-point lead over Ferrari before this race, and will expand its advantage in the team’s overall score at this race. McLaren drivers Les Yadu and Norris started 12th and 11th in this race, but they crossed the line in 8th and 9th respectively, and both scored points.
“Black Emperor” Hamilton started 7th in the standings today, and finally won “Stalk Neck Four”, once more not in the top three, and also lost to Russell once more. He Fu, the director of Heiji, escorted the 7-time world champion before the race, saying that Hamilton was testing different possibilities of the chariot, and it was unfair to compare the two’s near-station results.
