LIVE: Reaction as Piastri wins after high drama to end Azerbaijan GP

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix could have major F1 championship implications, with outside bets Charles Leclerc and Ferrari starting from pole in Baku.

Max Verstappen and Red Bull lead the two title fights, respectively, and the Dutchman will line up in sixth.

Lando Norris, meanwhile, was the on the receiving end of mistake and misfortune during qualifying. Therefore, the McLaren driver, 62 points adrift of Verstappen, will start P16.

It provides Leclerc with a considerable opportunity to eat into the points advantage of the two drivers ahead of him.

However, the 26-year-old has yet to convert pole position into victory in Baku. Can he vanquish that streak on the fourth consecutive Azerbaijan Grand Prix he starts from first?

Further back, Pierre Gasly was disqualified from the grid-setting session, so will go from P20, whilst Lewis Hamilton and Esteban Ocon are set for pit lane starts.
