F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2023: Know when race starts, how to watch on TV, live stream

Charles Leclerc secured both pole positions available in the Baku round, taking the lead in Friday's qualifying and also topping the new sprint race qualifying session on Saturday. However, he was unable to turn his success in the latter into a victory, as Sergio Perez caught up with him during the sprint.

Nevertheless, Leclerc managed to maintain his position and finish in second place, ahead of Max Verstappen, who had collided with George Russell on the first lap of the sprint, resulting in damage to his car.

Russell finished in fourth place, followed by Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso, while Lewis Hamilton and Lance Stroll secured points-paying places in the sprint race.
