Christian Horner has challenged his Red Bull drivers to work "collectively" if they are to beat pole-sitter Charles Leclerc at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The Monegasque produced an outstanding final flying lap to secure the right to start from the front this afternoon. Sergio Perez had to settle for second while Max Verstappen could only manage the second row, one place ahead of the other Ferrari racer Carlos Sainz.
Verstappen will hope to overtake Leclerc and win the race himself, to extend his championship lead which currently stands at nine points. But Perez in front of him also has his own agenda – continue the momentum from his Monaco win and new contract to close the gap to the top for himself.
