Rosanna Tennant

Hello and welcome to this episode of the F1 Beat.

I am delighted this week to be joined by Alex Kalanorkas, F1 Senior Editor at The Athletic, and Rosanna Tennant, F1 presenter and, dare I say, colleague at BBC Radio 5 Live.

Are we, Rosanna? Do we count? We

definitely count.

Love to end on a good note.

Yeah, I think those of us there on Abu Dhabi 2021 will never forget that tonight.

An enormous thank you to Rosanna Tennant and to Alex Kalanorkis.

We've just watched the qualifying session for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, and it was Mercedes' George Russell who took pole position with an incredible lap of the Baku City Circuit, eight-tenths clear of his nearest rival, Charles Leclerc, in the Ferrari.

I'm Rosanna Tennant, and I've come down into the paddock, and I'm joined by our lead commentator, Harry Benjamin, and former McLaren mechanic, Mark Priestley.

We've found a nice little table to sit down and review that qualifying session because, Mark, it was hugely impressive what George Russell did out there today.

We don't see that kind of gap in Formula 1 much these days.

Hello and welcome to Azerbaijan and welcome to the Baku City Circuit where Formula One is racing this weekend.

I'm Rosanna Tennant and joining me out here in Azerbaijan is our lead commentator Harry Benjamin and former McLaren mechanic Mark Priestley.

Guys, we've made it to Baku.

Harry and I would say we had an interesting route to the capital city of Azerbaijan, but we've made it.
