THE ROAD TO POLE
Up until today no driver had qualified on pole twice in Baku, but Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc has broken that record, qualifying ahead of Red Bull’s Sergio Perez (who was fastest in FP3 earlier today). All the drivers used the P Zero Red soft tyres from start to finish of qualifying.
The start of qualifying was delayed by 15 minutes and there was a further delay caused by a red flag in Q1, with track temperatures dropping progressively throughout the sessions. By the end, ambient temperatures were down to 26 degrees, with track temperatures of 37 degrees.
