Damon Hill offered a theory as to why Max Verstappen slightly underwhelmed in qualifying ahead of Saturday's Baku Sprint race.
Verstappen is the championship leader and has the fastest car on the grid in terms of race pace. But qualifying has been more tricky for the Dutchman this weekend with Charles Leclerc starring in Azerbaijan.
The Ferrari racer took pole for Sunday's race, with Verstappen going second fastest on Friday. But he could not even manage that in the first ever shootout event on Saturday morning. Leclerc again was quickest over one lap, while Sergio Perez put his street circuit expertise to good use to secure a front row place for the Sprint.
