BAKU, Azerbaijan -- A while ago it seemed like Mercedes and dominant F1 races were a thing of the past, but its one-two in Baku was its fourth in a row this year. Ferrari came into the weekend confident of more but things unraveled slightly in qualifying.
Still, the fact it seemed quick in race trim and the unpredictable nature of the Baku circuit meant all bets were off, right? Right? Wrong.
Here's why it unfolded like it did.
Where was Ferrari?: Ferrari just didn't have the pace when it mattered. It's odd, as this seemed like Ferrari's weekend right up until the moment Charles Leclerc misjudged his braking point and ploughed into the Turn 8 barriers during qualifying on Saturday.
