What are the tyre strategy options for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix?

The 2026 F1 season continues to prove its high competitiveness as four different manufacturers locked out the top four grid slots. George Russell secured his fifth pole of the season with a commanding performance, finishing eight-tenths of a second ahead of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, especially notable after teammate Kimi Antonelli's Q1 incident. Looking ahead to the race, strategy will be key as teams navigate a likely one-stop approach. With all three tyre compounds in play and unique technical factors like active aero and enhanced energy deployment, the Baku race promises to be an unpredictable and dynamic event despite the track's traditional overtaking challenges.
