• Charles Leclerc crashes out in Q2 in the other Ferrari
Tiny margins proved the differential in qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, where Valtteri Bottas rode the knife’s edge to take pole but, in stark contrast, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc pushed too hard and paid the price. Bottas took the top spot with a superb lap in front of his Mercedes teammate, Lewis Hamilton, in second.
Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel was third and, with his teammate Leclerc crashing out, the Scuderia were left once again licking their wounds as Mercedes made it count when it mattered.
