Yuki Tsunoda
Towards the Azerbaijan Grand Prix
Since the last race, I’ve been to the factory several times and had several meetings to analyze the race in Monaco.
I was always in the top 10 in free practice, so I was hoping that I might go to Q3 with two cars in qualifying, but unfortunately it was the worst qualifying this year.
My trouble in Q1 affected Pierre’s performance, and the situation got worse. I don’t know why the red flag was waved in such a trivial incident, but in the end, there shouldn’t be a crash into the wall during qualifying.
When it comes to the finals, the rain is sometimes a blessing, but this time it didn’t work for me. I would like to expect it from the next time onwards.
I was able to run powerfully in Baku last year. I was 8th in qualifying and 5th in the final. However, I lost some positions in the final stage following the red flag was interrupted, and I have no time to rewind.
There aren’t many things I don’t like or dislike regarding Baku.
Sector 2 going through the old town is fun and I like it overall because it’s not just because of the long straights but also because there are plenty of overtaking opportunities.
We hope you have a clean weekend in Azerbaijan and earn points. As a team, we need to put everything together and have a strong weekend to get the best possible results. Don’t repeat what happened in Monaco.
The Baku city course, which is the setting for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, has a lap of 6,003m and a total of 20 corners. It’s the same street circuit as the previous race in Monaco, but Monte Carlo is super slow, while Baku is a super fast public road truck.
Two crashes resulted in four retirementsLast year’s Grand PrixSergio Perez (Red Bull Honda) won his second career win, with Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin) in second and Pierre Guthrie on the podium in third.
The F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix will start with free practice 1 from 20:00 on June 10th (Friday), Japan time.
