Crawford Takes Provisional Baku F2 Pole After Triple Red-Flag Qualifying
Stewards will review three red-flag incidents that curtailed running, leaving several lap times at risk.
Overview
- Jak Crawford set a 1:54.791 to top the times by 0.019s over championship leader Leonardo Fornaroli, with Gabriele Minì third.
- The session was halted three times and ended early with about one minute remaining, preventing any final-lap improvements.
- Amaury Cordeel hit the Turn 13 wall to trigger the first stoppage, Victor Martins crashed at Turn 3 with his brakes catching fire, and Roman Stanek collided with John Bennett after rejoining to cause the final red flag.
- Officials are expected to assess the incidents with Martins and Stanek facing possible deletion of their best laps, which could change the final grid.
- On the reverse-grid order for the Sprint Race, Sebastian Montoya is provisionally on pole with Stanek alongside, pending any penalties.
