In Baku, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix reaches its decisive stage with final practice and qualifying, crucial steps on a street circuit that is always unpredictable. The Azerbaijani track rewards absolute precision, especially in the fast section and on the long straights where braking performance matters most.
For Italian fans, this will be the final test to see who can fight for pole and who will have to chase in the race. Traffic, wind and virtually no room for mistakes could all make the difference.
