Azerbaijan GP 2023
After a month break, F1 teams will head to Baku – the first Grand Prix of this season to feature a sprint race as well. However, a new sprint race format is expected pending official ratification of the change. The expected format means that a Friday qualifying session will determine the starting order for Sunday’s race. On Saturday, a sprint qualifying session will determine the starting grid for the sprint race while the outcome of the sprint race will not affect the grid on the main race.
It’s hard to predict anyone other than Max winning this race. However, the model gives a tiny advantage to Perez actually taking the victory on Sunday. Can Stroll match Alonso and gain even more points for the Aston Martin? Can Leclerc finally get some points? Can the Alpines prove they are the best of the rest? We’ll find out soon…
