Baku is a challenging track to get right. As it's a street circuit with long straights, it gives us multiple options on what wings we can run.

In Australia, we had already made a step forward in terms of pure performance and for Azerbaijan, we expect to move on from there.

Over the next races, we want to keep on making small steps forward. The car will continue to evolve in the coming weeks, as we steadily bring performance and upgrades to the track.
