Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2022

14h

Thank you all for following this live text from the Great of Azerbaijan. Next meeting, in a week, for the Canadian Grand Prix for the ninth meeting of the season.

14h

Hamilton takes a while to get out of his car. The Briton seems to have had a lot of difficulty in Baku but he still finished 4th. 

 

T51

The full result of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix:

T51

Doubled by Red Bull in Baku, behind the two Mercedes completing the Top 4, Gasly is 5th. Norris tried everything but finished just behind his teammate in 9th position. 

T51

Verstappen wins the Azerbaijan Grand Prix! The Dutchman took advantage of the abandonment of the Ferraris to increase his lead over the champion. 

T51

The battle will rage between the two McLarens! Norris contests the choice to freeze the positions, he wants 8th place. 

T50

The provisional top 10 with two rounds remaining:

Verstappen, Pérez, Russell, Hamilton, Gasly, Vettel, Alonso, Ricciardo, Norris and Ocon. 

T49

Stroll has just stopped in the pits. Abandonment for the Canadian. 

T48

“My seat is cold.” Hamilton complains on the radio, a problem on the W13? 

T47

With 5 laps to go from the checkered flag, it is Pérez who currently holds the point for the best lap in 1'46″046. 

T46

We assure Norris that we will let him pass if Ricciardo cannot overtake Alonso. The Briton loses patience in 9th position. 

T44

It's done for Hamilton, he overtakes Gasly before the second sector and recovers 4th place. AlphaTauri's strategic choice was not the right one

T44

Latifi who will most certainly be penalized for ignoring the blue flags. 

T43

Gasly lost a lot of time behind Latifi and Hamilton came back to less than a second. Difficult for the French to resist the British. 

T43

A look back at Tsunoda's save:

T42

Norris asks to be let through, the Briton does not want to waste time behind Ricciardo. 

T41

After Tsunoda's setbacks, Verstappen was asked not to use his DRS until the end of the race. 

T41

Gasly is only 5 seconds ahead of Hamilton, the Briton will certainly be able to recover 4th place.  

T40

Tsunoda returns to the pits, the tape is used to repair the part. Not sure that this makeshift repair will really hold. But what a surreal scene. The Japanese are asked not to use DRS. 

T39

Black and orange flag for Tsunoda! Technical fault for the Japanese with his DRS and he must return to the pits as quickly as possible. If he stays on the track, the black flag will very quickly appear.
