F1 Results Today: Azerbaijan Grand Prix Sprint Shootout qualifying times
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix played host to the first running of the revised F1 Sprint Shootout format.
Unlike previous years, the Sprint no longer affects the grid for Sunday's race, making it somewhat of a standalone event in the middle of the weekend.
The first-ever Sprint Shootout session ended in a red flag after Logan Sargeant hit the wall on the outside of turn 15.
With SQ1 over, five drivers were eliminated from the session with both Alfa Romeo drivers and both AlphaTauri drivers in the bottom five alongside Pierre Gasly.
SQ2 saw both Haas drivers eliminated, while Alpine's miserable weekend continued with Esteban Ocon also eliminated before SQ2.
Sunday's pole-sitter Charles Leclerc collided with the wall on his final SQ3 lap but not before he set an unbeatable lap time, beating Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen to pole position for the Sprint.
