via grandprix.comAudi says Baku Q1 exit does not condemn upgradeAudi faced a challenging qualifying session at the Baku Grand Prix, marking the first time in 2026 that both Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto were eliminated in Q1. Despite introducing a significant 14-part development package, the team struggled to extract the expected performance, with Hulkenberg noting that they were hindered by a lack of a car ahead to provide a tow on the long straights. Racing director Allan McNish stated that the team is still learning how to optimise the new upgrades and cautioned against making premature judgments based on a single event. He highlighted that understanding complex upgrades typically requires several races, and the team aims to gather more data to improve their performance moving forward.grandprix.comSat 26 Sep · 11:32 UTC

via F1iBaku Speed Trap: Who is the fastest of them all?In the Baku qualifying session, George Russell dominated, taking pole position with a significant margin of 0.837 seconds over Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. This performance highlighted the competitive gap in the 2026 season, as Russell's speed was notably faster than his rivals, with Esteban Ocon clocking the highest speed in the speed trap at 330.1 km/h. The session was challenging for several drivers, including championship leader Kimi Antonelli, who struggled after crashing into the wall and qualifying 16th.

via RacingNews365F1 teams facing Baku dilemma as key decision awaitsGeorge Russell achieved pole position for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, finishing qualifying with a best lap time of 1:42.526 seconds. He was followed by Charles Leclerc in second place, while Oscar Piastri and Isack Hadjar completed the top four. Kimi Antonelli faced a setback, crashing during Q1 and will start from 16th on the grid. The race strategy is under scrutiny as teams consider their options, with Pirelli suggesting a one-stop strategy due to low tyre wear at Baku. Most front-runners are expected to start on medium tyres, while others may opt for softs in hopes of an early safety car. The probability of a safety car during the race is estimated at 67%, adding complexity to the teams' strategic decisions.
