The eighth round of the Formula 1 world championship promises to be disputed in Baku. Present on the podium in four of the last five races and winner in the Principality of Monaco, Sergio Pérez is riding high with his Red Bull. He who already won last season would like to repeat his performance, Sunday June 12, during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
But Charles Leclerc did not give him the first place on the grid, taking a fourth consecutive pole position. At the wheel of his Ferrari, the Monegasque wants to resume his march forward, he who is in second place in the world championship, nine points behind leader Max Verstappen, who will start from third place. Frenchman Pierre Gasly (Alpha Tauri), third here last year, set the sixth fastest time in qualifying, just ahead of Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes).
