Jak Crawford takes pole for the Azerbaijan Formula 2 round in Baku, securing his second P1 of 2025 by 0.019s over Leonardo Fornaroli.
The DAMS Lucas Oil driver delivers under pressure, edging the reigning Formula 3 champion after a disrupted session.
Qualifying unfolds on a knife edge, with narrow margins and frequent yellow zones shaping run plans and tow strategy.
The first red flag arrives early after Victor Martins loses control. His best lap is deleted, removing an initial P4 and reshuffling the order.
A second stoppage ends the session. Roman Stanek, rejoining late, collides with John Bennett, prompting a terminal red with a minute remaining.
Crawford’s 1:54.791 lap underscores precision on a circuit that punishes small errors.
Gabriele Mini is third for Prema, converting speed into track position. Pepe Marti and Martinius Stenshorne round out the top eight in a tight midfield.
Alex Dunne and Luke Browning log identical times for sixth, reflecting the fine margins around Baku’s long straight and technical middle sector.
Stanek still banks ninth despite the incident. Sebastian Montoya completes the top ten with a composed effort for Prema.
Behind, Dino Beganovic and Rafael Villagomez take 11th and 12th. Richard Verschoor, Joshua Durksen, and Bennett complete laps amid the late disruptions.
Two red flags—Martins’ off and the Stanek/Bennett collision—define the session’s outcome.
Crawford’s benchmark lap reflects strong braking stability and clean exits onto the long run to Turn 1. That strength matters on the Baku street track.
Qualifying sets the Feature race grid, with the top ten reversed for the Sprint. Track position remains vital given narrow sections and limited passing spots.
The session underlines DAMS Lucas Oil’s momentum and Prema’s depth, with Mini and Montoya well placed strategically for tire offset options.
F2 again supports the F1 weekend, showcasing rising talent as a support event to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Mini leads Prema’s charge from third, while Montoya’s P10 offers strategic flexibility on reverse-grid dynamics.
Repair priorities are clear after the Stanek and Bennett contact. Preparation and driver safety remain central as teams pivot to race stints and tire management.
