The Azerbaijan GP is up next and it is a reminder that Charles Leclerc is the "King of Baku"....on a Saturday

Here's his record at Baku in this decade:

2021: Pole Position, P4
2022: Pole Position, DNF
2023: Pole Position, P3
2024: Pole Position, P2

So...what can we expect this time around? 😉

The top 10 drivers are separated by 4 tenths.

While it is a good thing that the gap is this small, the drawback is that the timing of the tow becomes even more pivotal

A great positioning for the lap could mean a difference of 4 to 5 positions
