Carlo Sainz:
Heading into Baku, it’s one of those circuits that is very unpredictable, with the race always being one of opportunities. On my side, we’ve been working hard to better understand how the tyres perform in different conditions in our car, so it will be interesting to see what improvements can be made to our Qualifying consistency. We know we have the pace, so let’s try to make the most out of it.

Alex Albon:
We’re coming to Baku with some good momentum after a strong return to the season following the summer break. Baku is a circuit that I enjoy driving, with a nice and familiar rhythm, but one you need to build up to throughout the weekend to be ready for Qualifying. This track provides good opportunities for overtaking, so our plan will be to maximize both Saturday and Sunday as we continue fighting for P5 in the Championship.
