News snippets
Baku, here we come: Baku City Circuit is on the Formula One calendar for the fifth time this year. The track made its #f1 debut in 2016 when it was chosen as the venue for the European Grand Prix. Since 2017, the 6.003 kilometre long street circuit has hosted the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Last season, #f1 was unable to visit Baku as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The race due to take place in Baku this coming weekend marks a return after just over two years. The inaugural winner on the high-speed street circuit was Nico Rosberg in the #f1 W07 Hybrid. Of the four races contested there to date, the Mercedes-AMG Petronas #f1 Team has won three, but each time with a different driver; following up on Rosberg’s success in 2016 were Lewis Hamilton (2018) and Valtteri Bottas (2019). The race in 2017 was won by Daniel Ricciardo in a Red Bull. Nico, Lewis and Valtteri have also booked one pole position each in qualifying so far. The fourth pole went to Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari in the 2018 season. The two lap records were both set in 2019: Charles Leclerc in a Ferrari posted the fastest race lap to date in a time of 1:43.009 minutes, while Valtteri holds the absolute track record with a qualifying time of 1:40.495 minutes.
New Junior driver: We welcome a new member to the Mercedes Motorsport family. 13-year-old Yuanpu Cui from China sat behind the wheel of a go-kart for the first time at the age of six and has been celebrating successes in various kart series around the world every year since 2016. Yuanpu was signed as a Mercedes-AMG Petronas #f1 Team Junior earlier this year. His father was a #racing driver, so Yuanpu’s future career was more or less mapped out for him from an early age. He quickly developed a love of #racing and enjoyed both the sense of speed and the competition. This year, Yuanpu is once again competing in a number of different karting series in the OK Junior class as a member of the Kart Republic (Argenti Motorsport) squad.
Class win in #gtworldchallengeeurope: In the second round of the #gtworldchallengeeurope Endurance Cup, AKKA ASP delivered a class win for Mercedes-AMG Motorsport. In the six-hour race at Circuit Paul Ricard, Thomas Drouet (FRA), Simon Gachet (FRA) and Konstantin Tereschenko (RUS) in the number 87 Mercedes-AMG GT3 finished eleventh overall, which was enough for victory in the Silver Cup. The best-placed Mercedes-AMG GT3 in the general classification was the number 88 sister car driven by #julesgounon (FRA), #danieljuncadella (ESP) and #raffaelemarciello (ITA) in P6, a result that puts AKKA ASP in second place in the team standings. #raffaelemarciello occupies the same position in the drivers’ championship.
