Azerbaijan F1 Grand Prix 2024: Schedule And Where To Watch The Race Live

(MENAFN- The Rio Times) The 2024 Formula 1 season excites with thrilling races, highlighting this weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix as the 17th round. On Sunday, September 15, drivers will battle it out in the final race at Baku Circuit.

Charles Leclerc clinched pole position for the fourth straight year in Azerbaijan . This feat renews his hopes for a maiden victory on this challenging track.

The Monegasque driver set the pace in Saturday's qualifying with a blistering time of 1:41.365.

He outpaced Oscar Piastri by 0.3 seconds, securing the top spot. Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz, Leclerc's Ferrari teammate, claimed third place on the starting grid.

Leclerc's pole position streak in Baku continues to impress. In 2021, he started first but finished fourth, with Sergio Pérez taking the win.

The following year, a Red Bull driver overtook him on the opening lap. Last year, his pole resulted in a third-place finish after Pérez passed him again.

These four poles have made Leclerc the record holder for this event. Notably, Baku joined the F1 calendar in 2017.

Red Bull faces a tougher challenge this time around in Bak . Sergio Pérez, a three-time winner here, will start from fourth position.

Max Verstappen, on the other hand, finds himself in sixth place for the race start. Both drivers have tasted victory on this circuit before. However, they'll need to work hard to catch the Ferraris ahead.

The Williams team celebrated a significant achievement in qualifying. Both Franco Colapinto and Alexander Albon made it to Q3.

This feat hadn't occurred since the 2023 Las Vegas GP. In contrast, McLaren's Lando Norris suffered an unexpected setback. He was eliminated in Q1, something that hadn't happened since the United States GP.
