At 13:00 Dutch time, Charles Leclerc will definitely start from pole in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Accidents and bad luck aside, it seems to be a race between Ferrari and Red Bull. The gap with the teams behind - even the once so supreme Mercedes - is huge. Sergio Perez will start on behalf of Red Bull Racing in 2nd place, just ahead of teammate Max Verstappen.

Carlos Sainz was not for the first time this season during qualifying the slowest of the four drivers of the top teams. The Spaniard received a new exhaust on his car on Saturday, but for that he receives no grid penalty (yet). Only at the eighth change will penalties follow. Sainz now goes to the fourth exhaust. Kevin Magnussen saw the MGU-K of his Haas replaced. It is the third change this season, so again no grid penalty yet.
