BAKU, Azerbaijan -- Sebastian Vettel topped the final practice session for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after a complete reversal in form following Friday practice.

After finishing second practice in 11th place, setup changes overnight left Vettel with more confidence in his Ferrari and he set a time 0.361s clear of Lewis Hamilton to secure the fastest time on Saturday morning.

Friday's pace setters Red Bull had their session compromised by a late red flag for Sergey Sirotkin's crashed Williams, resulting in a rushed qualifying simulation as the session restarted with just three minutes left on the clock.
