Carlos Sainz and Liam Lawson completed the top three this Saturday, with both drivers achieving their best qualifying result of the season.

In total, there were six red flags from Q1 to Q3, making today's qualifying longer than last year's race at the Baku City Circuit.
During the last 12 minutes, both Oscar Piastri and Leclerc crashed out. Despite this being a good opportunity for Lando Norris, the British driver will start right in front of his teammate from seventh place.
