Ferrari set the pace in Friday practice, with Charles Leclerc leading Red Bull's Sergio Perez by two tenths in FP2. Max Verstappen was third in the sister Red Bull, while Fernando Alonso put Alpine a strong fourth in the order at the end of the day.

George Russell was Mercedes' top driver in seventh.

What time does qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix start?

Qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was due to begin at 6pm local time (+4 GMT) at the Baku City Circuit but has been pushed back by 15 minutes after FP3 was also delayed for barrier repairs. The three-part session will last approximately one hour, although red flags could lead to further delays.

Baku qualifying directly clashes with the start of Le Mans 24 Hours, but the due to Baku's delay fans can at least watch the first laps of Le Mans without having to miss any F1 action.
