2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix Practice

Alex Albon: Today was about tyre learnings. First thing was to get on top of our programme for this weekend and trying to find the middle ground in terms of what’s optimal for the car and what’s optimal over one lap. I think we’re in a good flow right now, I'm happy with the car and I'm happy with the balance. Although I would like it to stay dry for the rest of the weekend. If there’s rain or weather tomorrow it puts us in a bit more of an unknown side, at the same time, it might make us even quicker. But for the most part, I think we've been in a good rhythm from FP1 and continued it into FP2.

Carlos Sainz: Interesting day for us today. FP1 was quite messy and we were caught out constantly by yellow flags. FP2 however was a better session and I’m happy with our long runs. We seem to struggle again with the softer compound so we need to keep looking for something more for Quali. I think tomorrow the Soft and Medium tyres are going to be extremely close, so we might see different approaches and this will spice things up in Qualifying.
