F1 Azerbaijan GP qualifying - Start time, how to watch & more

Mercedes Ferrari F1 Red Bull Sky Sports Aston Martin Haas McLaren Channel 4 GP (Event)

Charles Leclerc topped the Friday practice times for Ferrari ahead of the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Here’s how and when to watch qualifying.

The Italian GP winner bounced back from a crash in FP1 to top second practice by just 0.006s from Red Bull’s Sergio Perez, as F1 sets off on the first of its flyaway races that mark the final third of the 2024 season.

Lewis Hamilton put his Mercedes third in the FP2 standings ahead of the second Ferrari of Carlos Sainz, as Oscar Piastri led McLaren’s charge in fifth place, but Lando Norris was baulked by Alpine’s Pierre Gasly on his flying lap which left him 17th.

Reigning world champion Max Verstappen, who topped opening practice on the Baku streets, slotted into sixth place for Red Bull ahead of Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll.

With Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg in eighth, George Russell could only manage ninth following numerous technical issues with his Mercedes car, while Kevin Magnussen’s stand-in Oliver Bearman rounded out the top 10.
