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.
