Max Verstappen edges out Charles Leclerc in Azerbaijan Grand Prix practice
Max Verstappen edged out Charles Leclerc to finish fastest in the sole practice session at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Formula One bosses have changed the weekend format in Baku, with the introduction of two qualifying sessions – one to decide the order for Sunday’s grand prix, and the other determining the starting grid for Saturday’s sprint race, the first of six sprint events this season.
Practice has been slashed from three hours to just one, ahead of qualifying for Sunday’s main event at 5pm local time (2pm Irish time) on Friday.
