Lewis Hamilton has taken pole position for Sunday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the Baku City Circuit.
Q3 was interrupted by a red flag with three and a half minutes to go when Daniel Ricciardo hit the wall. This set the drivers up for a one-lap shootout at the end of Q3 with which to try and beat Valtteri Bottas’ provisional pole time. Hamilton was just able to edge his Mercedes teammate at the end of the session.
Both Toro Rossos along with the Haas of Kevin Magnussen, the Renault of Nico Hulkenberg and the Sauber of Pascal Wehrlein were eliminated in Q2.
