AZERBAIJAN GP - QUALIFYING - RE-CAP & RESULTS

    Lewis Hamilton has taken pole position for this year's Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Jolyon Palmer missed the session entirely after his engine fire in the final practice session just hours earlier. Both McLaren's have racked up a total of 75 grid penalties and Daniel Ricciardo crashed out of Q3 due to driver error, causing red flags in the final minutes of the session.

HOW IT WORKS:

Q1 = 18 minutes. All cars allowed to go out. At the end of the session, the five slowest are eliminated.

Q2 = 15 minutes. The remaining cars go out. At the end of the session, the five slowest are eliminated.

Q3 = 12 minutes. Final 10 cars go out. The final order at the end of the session is how the grid will line up. Fastest car starts from Pole Position.
