Rodin Motorsport sweeps both Formula 2 qualifying sessions in Baku. Alex Dunne tops Q1 and Martinius Stenshorne takes Q2 pole, putting the team in control for Sprint and Feature.

The one-two across sessions highlights an efficient package and strong braking stability on the long straights of the Baku City Circuit, where slipstreaming magnifies execution and teamwork.

Q1 is set by Dunne’s 1m55.383s, with Stenshorne only 0.033s slower, underlining Rodin’s ability to switch on tyres quickly on a rapidly evolving surface.

Campos’s Noel León is third, followed by ART’s Kush Maini and Invicta Racing’s Rafael Câmara to complete the top five in Q1.

PREMA’s Mari Boya and Sebastián Montoya take sixth and seventh. Ferrari junior Dino Beganovic climbs late to eighth, ahead of TRIDENT’s Laurens van Hoepen and championship leader Nikola Tsolov.

Q2 swings decisively to Stenshorne. He posts a 1m53.728s to deny Dunne by nearly half a second after a late push, overturning Rafael Câmara’s earlier provisional pole.

Boya maintains fourth in Q2, ahead of Maini and León. Van Hoepen is seventh, Tsolov eighth, ART’s Tasanapol Inthraphuvasak ninth, with Montoya completing the top ten.

Rodin’s clean execution brings a Feature front-row lockout and prime track position. Their straight-line speed and confidence under braking should convert into overtaking leverage, especially on Safety Car restarts.

Behind, slipstream management and DRS trains will define progress. Expect high variance on tyre life, with track evolution amplifying undercuts and late push laps.

Saturday’s 21‑lap Sprint starts at 08:15 local time, as set out in the time schedule. The 14:15 Feature headlines an Azerbaijan GP weekend stacked with storylines.
