Full Baku GP Qualifying Results | Leclerc takes pole, Piastri P2, Sainz P3
Charles Leclerc makes it four pole positions in as many years at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix by taking pole position in Baku ahead of Oscar Piastri and Csrlos Saizn in P2 and P3, respectively.
The Ferrari driver continues his Saturday dominance around the Baku City Circuit, making it his fourth pole on the bounce, giving him the perfect opportunity to back up his Italian Grand Prix win last time out.
Behind him was Piastri in P2, but his teammate Lando Norris was eliminated in a shock Q1 exit. Sainz took P3, with Sergio Perez only good enough for P4. George Russell was able to take P5 ahead of a slow Max Verstappen in P6, and an even slower Lewis Hamilton in P7. Fernando Alonso, Franco Colapinto and Alex Albon rounded out the top ten.
Ollie Bearman almost made it into Q3 alongside Colapinto in his first full F1 weekend, but he just finished in P11. Yuki Tsunoda and Pierre Gasly finished in P12 and P13, respectively, while Nico Hulkenberg could only finish in P14 behind Bearman. Lance Stroll was the last to be eliminated in P15.
Along with Norris in Q1, Daniel Ricciardo also saw his qualifying end prematurely, while his teammate made it through after only finishing in P16. Valtteri Bottas, Zhou Guanyu and Esteban Ocon could only finish in P18, P19 and P20, respectively.
