They will decide it on the track. Charles Leclerc qualified third for Ferrari, half a second back, and remains the only driver other than the two McLarens to have taken pole at this circuit in the last five seasons. Max Verstappen completed the second row after a scrappy final run. ## What it means for Sunday Baku has produced a safety car in every one of its last six races, and the long run to turn one means pole is worth less here than at any other circuit on the calendar. Norris has led the opening lap from pole only twice this season. Tyre choice adds a second variable. Both McLarens will start on the medium compound, while Ferrari has kept an extra set of softs for the race, a decision that suggests Leclerc plans an early stop and a long second stint.]]> https://24racing.com/news/how-the-2026-power-units-changed-the-pecking-order https://24racing.com/news/how-the-2026-power-units-changed-the-pecking-order Wed, 23 Sep 2026 11:25:53 GMT The lap time is no longer the fastest way round. It is the fastest way round with the energy you have. Mercedes and Audi appear to have the strongest deployment maps. Both arrived at pre-season testing able to run full power laps without the drop-off in the final sector that affected their rivals. ## Where the losses are Alpine's switch to a customer Mercedes supply has cost it in packaging rather than power. The Enstone chassis was designed around a different installation and the compromise shows in cooling. Red Bull's first season as an engine builder has produced exactly the mixed picture the paddock expected: competitive peak power, less mature energy recovery software. The gap is narrowing race by race, which is why the team's second half of the season looks stronger than its first.]]> https://24racing.com/news/verstappen-says-red-bull-upgrade-has-fixed-entry-balance https://24racing.com/news/verstappen-says-red-bull-upgrade-has-fixed-entry-balance Wed, 23 Sep 2026 11:25:53 GMT https://24racing.com/news/hamilton-ferrari-contract-talks-to-continue-after-baku https://24racing.com/news/hamilton-ferrari-contract-talks-to-continue-after-baku Wed, 23 Sep 2026 11:25:53 GMT https://24racing.com/news/cadillac-first-season-what-the-numbers-say https://24racing.com/news/cadillac-first-season-what-the-numbers-say Wed, 23 Sep 2026 08:30:00 GMT When Valtteri tells us the rear is not doing what he expects, we know it is the car, not the driver. That is worth an entire test programme. Team principal Graeme Lowdon has been careful to manage expectations in public while pushing hard internally. The target for 2027, when General Motors' own power unit arrives, is the midfield rather than the back row.]]> https://24racing.com/news/what-time-does-the-azerbaijan-grand-prix-start https://24racing.com/news/what-time-does-the-azerbaijan-grand-prix-start Wed, 23 Sep 2026 06:00:00 GMT https://24racing.com/news/why-tyre-warm-up-decides-the-las-vegas-grand-prix https://24racing.com/news/why-tyre-warm-up-decides-the-las-vegas-grand-prix Sun, 20 Sep 2026 07:30:00 GMT You are not managing degradation here. You are managing getting the tyre to work at all. Third, graining becomes the dominant failure mode. A cold tyre sliding on a smooth, low-grip surface tears small pieces of rubber from itself, and those pieces then reduce grip further. ## What teams do about it Teams run more aggressive brake ducting to push heat into the wheel rim, increase camber to load the shoulder of the tyre, and start on the softest compound available. None of it solves the problem. It only makes the first three laps of a stint survivable.]]> https://24racing.com/news/silverstone-extends-british-grand-prix-deal-to-2040 https://24racing.com/news/silverstone-extends-british-grand-prix-deal-to-2040 Fri, 18 Sep 2026 10:15:00 GMT https://24racing.com/news/williams-signs-multi-year-deal-with-albon https://24racing.com/news/williams-signs-multi-year-deal-with-albon Wed, 16 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://24racing.com/news/monza-sprint-format-under-review-for-2027 https://24racing.com/news/monza-sprint-format-under-review-for-2027 Mon, 14 Sep 2026 09:45:00 GMT https://24racing.com/news/antonelli-takes-maiden-pole-in-madrid https://24racing.com/news/antonelli-takes-maiden-pole-in-madrid Sat, 12 Sep 2026 15:45:00 GMT https://24racing.com/news/bortoleto-scores-first-podium-for-audi-in-brazil https://24racing.com/news/bortoleto-scores-first-podium-for-audi-in-brazil Thu, 10 Sep 2026 18:20:00 GMT
