In the last practice session ahead of qualifying for the 2019 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Kimi Raikkonen rounded out the top 10 for Alfa Romeo Racing at the Baku City Circuit. The Finnish driver completed 19 laps, with a personal best of 1:43.537 in what seems to be a very close midfield battle, as Toro Rosso’s Daniil Kvyat who finished sixth was only three tenths faster.
Antonio Giovinazzi, who has a 10-place grid drop after taking on a new Control Electronics, took 12th, in front of McLaren pair Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz Jr., with Lance Stroll 15th. Renault was once more outside of the top 10 with Daniel Ricciardo 11th – albeit just 0.024s down on Raikkonen – while Nico Hulkenberg was only 16th.
Charles Leclerc completed a clean sweep of Azerbaijan Grand Prix practice sessions as he led Saturday afternoon’s running at the Baku City Circuit.
Saturday’s qualifying session is scheduled for 17:00 local time:
