You just have to see his classification in Superpole.
Just read that:
Bertrand Baguette a réalisé l’opération idéale dans la première course du Nürburgring. Coutumier du fait, le Belge s’est imposé en profitant de qualifications médiocres qui lui ont permis de s’élancer de la 1ère ligne de la grille, puis de prendre facilement la tête en faisant un sort à un second couteau, Daniil Move. Habitué de cette feuille de route, le Belge et futur champion de la Formula Renault 3.5 entretient les affreux soupçons qui pèsent sur ses tactiques de course. Certains dans le paddock pensent que Baguette se laisse volontairement glisser dans le bas du top 8 des qualifications pour s’imposer dans la 1ère course en n’ayant pas à lutter contre les meilleurs performeurs du week-end. Une stratégie qui n’enlève rien à son talent mais qui entache sa sportivité et souligne l’ineptie d’un tel système de qualifications, unique au monde.
Dans le même temps, les pilotes les plus véloces des qualifications ont pâti de la grille inversée de la Formula 3.5 : Hartley s’est fait percuter dans le 1er virage et Pic est resté englué dans le peloton. Au classement général, derrière Baguette, l’abandon de Walker provoque un regroupement avec 5 pilotes en 6 points.

If he has made that it's a big shame.
It's legal but not fair play from Draco and him.


I don't care if he did that on purpose, they explained it yesterday how this qualifying works, and from what I understand, the final qualifying happens with 12 cars, from which the top 8 are then in reverse order for the start of the first race. You can as well end up 9th place I think then.

Either way, it's one of the silliest qualifying formats I have ever heard to be honnest... If you have the best time you need to start the first race in 8th... :? :? :? So yeah, why wouldn't you then try to be 8th if that gives you pole position...

so weird

Exactly, can't blame Baguette for that, blame whoever came up with that retarded format.

Welldone to Bertrand, very good season for him. I expected a bit more from Pic to be honest, hopefully he can still claim P2 in the championship.

Motorland Aragon Race 1 is starting soon on Eurosport (30 min exactly).

After watching some stuff from qualifying, that track reminds me of Portimao with its elevation changes ... :)

Eurosport should buy MotorsTV and turn it into Eurosport Motor.

Back straight is strange, grass on one side and sand on the other.

They seem to be racing a mickey-mouse national version of the track?

Looks like a pretty cool place though.

Fucking hell this camera work really is distracting. How about not zooming up in the cars that close?

Good race, Baguette drove superb. Track is okay, F1 should go there instead of Borecelona.
