    McLaren damage leads Ferrari 1-2 in Azerbaijan GP practice

    Ferrari Dominates Practice in Baku as Mclaren Faces Setback

    Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton showcased their speed in second practice for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, clinching a 1-2 finish. Their strong performance overshadowed a difficult session for McLaren, as both Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri hit the wall, raising concerns about potential damage to their cars.


    McLaren’s Double Misfortune

    In a dramatic turn of events, McLaren’s title contenders faced a tough day at the challenging Baku street circuit. Lando Norris was the first to encounter trouble, crashing into the wall at turn four. Despite managing to return to the pits, the damage assessment loomed large as McLaren’s engineers rushed to evaluate the car’s condition.

    Just six minutes later, Oscar Piastri followed suit, also hitting the wall on the exit of the final turn. While Piastri managed to get back on track to complete a few laps, he ultimately finished the session in 12th position, with Norris slightly ahead in 10th.

    Ferrari’s Strong Showing

    Ferrari’s dominance was evident throughout the session. Lewis Hamilton initially struggled, having earlier set a disappointing 13th fastest time. However, as the sun began to set, the seven-time world champion found his rhythm and clocked the fastest lap, finishing just 0.074 seconds ahead of teammate Leclerc.

    The Scuderia enjoyed a comfortable lead over the Mercedes duo, with George Russell and Kimi Antonelli finishing third and fourth respectively. Haas’s Oliver Bearman rounded out the top five, while reigning champion Max Verstappen finished in a surprising sixth place.

    Constructors’ Championship Implications

    As the Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend unfolds, McLaren stands on the brink of clinching the constructors’ championship with a record seven races to spare. However, recent internal team strategies, including prioritizing Norris over Piastri at Monza, have stirred debate among fans and pundits alike.

    Team principal Andrea Stella reiterated McLaren’s commitment to their racing philosophy, stating: “The approach to the drivers’ title will not change. This is not dependent on the constructors’. Our decisions reflect our racing principles, which are crucial for the team’s unity.”

    Looking Ahead

    With eight rounds remaining in the season, the tension continues to build between McLaren’s star drivers as they vie for both the constructors’ and drivers’ championships. As the teams prepare for qualifying, all eyes will be on the formidable Ferrari duo, eager to maintain their momentum heading into the race.
