The show of strength of the energy drink group, which is considered a favorite of the weekend due to the characteristics of the Baku track, was important. Although the only possible comparison was with the soft tires and the pace of the classification, in addition, the Austrian team used only medium tires while Ferrari opted for the harder ones.
In this scenario, Pérez had a big advantage despite Charles Leclerc’s multiple attempts, he was second. Max Verstappen was third, while Carlos Sainz closed the drivers’ sequence with the two best cars on the grid.
FP1 also showed a lot porpoising, as expected for a real street track with long straights, like this one. It wasn’t just Mercedes that suffered: basically all the teams suffered the bounces. It was Pierre Gasly who said he had never been in a car that bounced so far in this FP1. That’s a question for the weekend.
Behind the top four were Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton, Yuki Tsunoda, George Russell, Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon. Daniel Ricciardo was the slowest on the track when Mick Schumacher and Nicholas Latifi were left out, two drivers who had car problems early in training.
O GRAND PRIZE along with all activities LIVE and IN REAL TIME. Soon, FP2 is scheduled for 11 a.m. [de Brasília, GMT-3].

See how TL1 went:
On a windy day in the Azerbaijani capital, he returned to the Formula 1 street track after spending two weeks at the Monaco Grand Prix. And as soon as the pit work turned on the green light and the doors opened, a car crashed into the track. In three minutes, 20 drivers had already put the car on the track for their first appearance. The first option was the medium tires, the hard Ferrari and the soft Aston Martin. By the way, Pirelli has chosen the softest range possible – C1, C2 and C3 – for the weekend.
Last year’s winner Sergio Pérez pointed a yellow paraffin at the back for Red Bull aerodynamic tests, while Sebastian Vettel warned on Aston Martin radio that the car’s steering wheel was sideways in law.
The movement of the track was real: not only were they out of the garage in the opening minutes, but Kevin Magnussen was the last to record a lap timed in less than eight minutes. No more installation rounds.
Then the official FOM broadcast showed Mick Schumacher standing in a corner of Haas. There was a moment’s concern that the young German driver had fallen again, but he didn’t. Next, the TV pointed out the problem: a waterfall flowing from the car. The order for the war came from the engineer. The VSC was turned on for a moment as they took the car and water.

<p>As soon as it all started again, with about 12 minutes of training, Max Verstappen decided to go in search of time. The tournament leader clocked 1min46s932 when it was the fastest real first lap to date. Charles Leclerc then made a slower 0s522 lap and jumped to second place. It doesn’t hurt: Verstapp used medium tires against Leclerc’s hard tires.</p>
<p>By the way, when we talk about Ferrari, Carlos Sainz looked great until then, complaining that there were a lot of cars jumping, especially in a very long straight – the longest in the Formula 1 calendar – Leclerc also warned that there was “wind”. crazy”.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Lance Stroll broke the wall and the lucky one came out unscathed. The next issue – and the one launched by VSC – would be by Nicholas Latifiga, after a 20-minute session. The Williams driver stopped on the track and warned, “The car has just died.”</p>
<p>For 30 and a half minutes of training, Verstapp was the leader with Pérez now in second place. Leclerc was third and was close to Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda, with Sainz sixth. Kevin Magnussen, Fernando Alonso, Alexander Albon and Esteban Ocon rounded out the top-10. Lewis Hamilton and George Russell were 11th and 13th, respectively.</p>
<p>The track was fairly stagnant halfway through training, however. Perez was the only one to make a quick return among the first qualifiers, and Gasly, who was fourth, also complained. For the Frenchman, the Baku track had the worst effect <em>porpoising</em> – bounces – so far this year. Any comparison between Red Bull and Ferrari was still useless, as the Italians used only hard tires.</p>

<p>The second part of the training started to bring more people back to the track. Stroll, who had previously touched the wall, was now exploring the escape area and had trouble navigating the runway. Meanwhile, Mercedes, two cars in the garage and worried.</p>
<p>With about 20 minutes left, it’s time to put on soft tires and try out the classification simulations. Sainz was first among the leaders and behind Verstapp, but in direct comparison with the red belt, he was better than the Dutch Perez: he did 1min45s476 and jumped to the front. Leclerc continued without trying.</p>
<p>Although Alonso was fifth in the soft lap, Russell managed to get into the top ten for the first time in the day.</p>
<p>Leclerc was able to get into the soft tires with just over 15 minutes to go, but a difficult lap, with the right to stop the rubber, put the Monegasque in third place. Red Bull showed some advantage early in the weekend.</p>
<p>Hamilton also arrived late for the soft, best for Mercedes: he was in fifth place, but 1s5 slower than Pérez.</p>
<p>Although Alfa Romeo did not attract attention and did not even get close to the top 10, it is worth noting that Guanyu was faster than Zhou Valtteri Bottas in the whole of FP1; the Finn, however, barely surpassed the rookie on the final fast lap. . Traffic was also starting to take its toll: Leclerc and Vettel were complaining about Russell and Tsunoda, respectively. Another important thing to keep in mind is that in addition to Schumacher and Latifiz who had problems at the beginning of training, Daniel Ricciardo was 18th and the slowest on the track. The Australian’s situation is becoming increasingly rare at McLaren.</p>
<p>Leclerc went for another attempt with soft tires, and improved: he overtook Verstapp, but was still 0s3 from Perez. He tried again and jumped to 0s1, but he did his best. The Mexican leadership, which makes Red Bull the favorite earlier this weekend.</p>
