Big call from Lando Norris in the media pen, who says he hasn't seen the incident yet that resulted in his retirement, but drivers who trigger incidents like it should face a "one race ban". #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

Non ci sono conferme ufficiali, ma dalle indiscrezioni #Ferrari avrebbe avuto in pista a Baku #Hamilton con motore ADUO-1 e #Leclerc con motore ADUO-2. 📈 Dal confronto della telemetria di @Fred__18, il gap tra i due nelle FP2 mostrerebbe come evolvono le power unit con lo sviluppo: non tanto in potenza di picco, quanto in efficienza. Da metà giro, infatti, Hamilton (linea gialla) ha molta meno energia da usare rispetto a Leclerc (linea rossa) 😳 #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

#McLaren was forced to use cables ties to limit the external flex of the floorboard's vertical vane since FP1. In FP2, the number of cable ties increased due to the high stress in this area. Ph: Sky sport F1 (screen) #f1 #f1tech #azerbaijangp

Suspected oil leak on Fernando Alonso's new Honda PU, say the team. He's currently P22, with nine laps done. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

How will 2026 cars handle Baku's 2.2 km straight? Better than you'd think. It's the only part of the lap that really demands electrical power. In qualifying the car arrives with a nearly full battery - 3.95 of 4 MJ in my sim - and dumps the lot before the line, crossing it at zero. The 90° low-speed corners aren't very downforce-dependent either, so the smaller 2026 cars aren't punished there the way they will be in fast corners. My lap: 1:42.53, about 1.4 s off Verstappen's 2025 pole. Other configs land +1.4 to +2.2 s - so, close. Two details to watch: the optimiser doesn't deploy into T15 at all, running the last 150 m to the braking zone on the engine alone to save the energy. And it takes a small lift at T18, 272 to 268 km/h through the kink. Whether real deployment maps behave that way, we'll see. I modelled the 8.5 MJ recharge limit; the lap didn't reach it, at 8.29 MJ. #F1 #F1Tech #AzerbaijanGP #MotorsportEngineering

Spot on @SmilexTech. One of the reasons my account has gone quiet lately. Too much drama to navigate, and algorithms that don't give the real technical content the light of day...

Hi guys, You can appreciate the details better from the front row; I love this Racing Bulls design. 😍🧐🤯 . #xaviimages #aeroporn #f1technicalphotographer 📸 #F1Tech #SpanishGP .
