AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX
BAKU Street Circuit
4-6 June 2021
Saturday, June 5th 2021

Qualifying: second consecutive pole for Charles
Second pole position in a row for Charles Leclerc, who was fastest around the 6.003 kilometres of the Baku City Circuit. On his first run in Q3, he posted a time of 1’41”218, which proved out of reach for the rest of the field, partly because of a red flag brought out when Yuki Tsunoda crashed almost at the end of the session.
The other Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow driver, Carlos Sainz, will start from fifth on the grid, with a best lap just 13 thousandths slower than the third placed driver, Max Verstappen.
Number nine. This was Leclerc’s ninth F1 career pole and Scuderia Ferrari’s 230th. The Azerbaijan Grand Prix starts on Sunday at 16 local (14 CET.)
PRACTICE 3
Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz were fourth and fifth fastest respectively in the final free practice session for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

33 laps. The two Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow drivers completed a total of 33 laps, 16 for Charles with a best time of 1’42”778 and 17 for Carlos, the quickest being a 1’43”006.
Qualifying. Grid positions will be decided in the session that gets underway at 16 local (14 CET.)
