Will Charles Leclerc become the second driver of the season, after Max Verstappen, to string together two victories? The Ferrari driver will start from pole position on Sunday, September 15, at 1 p.m., at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. In the streets of Baku, the Monegasque will be chasing his third victory of the season, after those acquired in Monaco, on May 26, and in Monza, on September 1.

At the end of the 51 laps of six kilometers, Charles Leclerc will have the opportunity to take back points from Lando Norris. The Briton, second in the general classification behind Max Verstappen, was hampered by a yellow flag and was guilty of a small mistake in qualifying. He will only start from 17th place on the grid. The reigning Dutch champion will start from the third row. With no wins since June 23, and only two podiums in the last six Grands Prix, he finds himself in a negative spiral and sees his lead in the classification melt away, even if he still has 62 points more than Lando Norris. Follow the race live.
