Russell dominated Thursday practice and delivered again in qualifying, taking pole with a 1:42.526. But Baku rarely stays predictable. Only three previous races here have been won from pole, while the run from pole to the Turn 1 braking point is just 111 metres — the shortest on the F1 calendar. Russell has track position, but Leclerc and Piastri are directly behind and ready to attack. 🔴 LECLERC STARTS ON THE FRONT ROW Charles Leclerc starts second for Ferrari. He holds the Baku race lap record and has four pole positions at this circuit, but this time he must attack from the outside of the front row. Can Ferrari finally convert Baku speed into victory? 🟠 McLAREN IN THE FIGHT Oscar Piastri starts third with Lando Norris fifth. Baku’s huge straight, heavy braking zones and Safety Car risk mean strategy could change everything. 🔥 HADJAR P4 — VERSTAPPEN ONLY P8 Isack Hadjar produced a huge qualifying performance to put the Red Bull fourth on his return weekend. Max Verstappen starts only eighth, behind Russell, Leclerc, Piastri, Hadjar, Norris, Hamilton and Pierre Gasly. Red Bull brought their final major 2026 upgrade to Baku — can Max still fight his way into podium contention? 🐐 HAMILTON STARTS SIXTH Lewis Hamilton lines up P6 for Ferrari, directly behind Norris and ahead of Gasly and Verstappen. Can Hamilton attack early and get himself into the podium fight? 💥 ASTON MARTIN START FROM THE BACK Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll are set to start at the back after taking fresh Honda power unit components beyond their season allocations. 🌤️ BAKU RACE CONDITIONS Saturday is expected to be dry and warm, with temperatures around 26C and no rain forecast. Winds should be lighter than qualifying day. 📊 F1 LIVE TIMING + MINI TRACK • F1 Live Timing • Mini track visuals • Position changes • Tyres and pit stops • Safety Car and VSC reaction • Team radio reaction • Race strategy analysis • Tony Craig F1 Live commentary 👇 JOIN THE LIVE CHAT Who wins the Azerbaijan Grand Prix?
