Formula 2 – Pole position for Juri Vips
Pole position for Estonian Juri Vips! The Red Bull Junior team achieves a triple with Liam Lawson in second and Denis Hauger in third.
Last year, he won 2 out of 3 races here in Baku. This year, he takes the pole position! Juri Vips is the man of this track!
In the first run of this qualifying session, Japanese driver Ayumu Iwasa had set the fastest time before hitting the wall at turn 3 with less than 6 minutes remaining in the session.
The 21 drivers come out to try and do 2 timed laps.
In this game, it is Hitech driver Juri Vips who sets the fastest time in 1.53.762. Liam Lawson on his Carlin sets the second fastest time (+0.163), rookie Dennis Hauger takes the third time (+0.211).
Felipe Drugovich, the leader in the driver’s standings, set the fifth fastest time (+0.238).
Théo Pourchaire, on the other hand, slightly disappointing, recorded the twelfth time (+0.678).
