The pole position for the
Azerbaijan Grand Prix is for
Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque eventually proved to be a lot faster than
Sergio Perez and
Max Verstappen. Also teammate
Carlos Sainz could not mean much
On the Baku street circuit, overtaking is easier than in Monaco, so the Red Bull drivers can still be satisfied with their position for Sunday's race. Sainz will be slightly less satisfied after he lightly hit the wall on his fast lap and could not improve his time.
George Russell again does good business for
Mercedes with a P5.
Lewis Hamilton has already finished seventh, but the
FIA will investigate an incident by the Briton after the session. Hamilton namely drove unnecessarily slow during Q2.
Pierre Gasly, Yuki Tsunoda,
Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso complete the top ten. Both
McLaren drivers did not make it to Q3, so
Lando Norris and
Daniel Ricciardo must hope for a better race pace.
