Speaking ahead of the Sprint Race, Frederik Vesti believed it would be decided on the final lap around Baku, but even he probably couldn’t have predicted what was about to unfold.
Hitech Grand Prix’s Jüri Vips was the fastest man in the first Formula 2 session of the Baku weekend. The Estonian left it late but was the only driver in the 1:55s, narrowly ahead of Liam Lawson.
Having narrowly missed out on pole position last year, Jüri Vips set out to make amends with a last-minute charge to P1 in a highly competitive Formula 2 Qualifying session in Baku.
Pole-sitter Felipe Drugovich made it three wins in four races to extend his lead at the top of the Drivers’ Championship.
