F1 today (Sunday) provides a spectacular treat for TV fans with the start time for the eagerly-awaited 2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the Baku City Circuit approaching fast.

For once we do not have a Red Bull on pole after Ferrari's Charles Leclerc surprised just about everybody with a blistering lap to claim P1 on Friday.

Leclerc of course will have company right from the start with those Red Bulls right behind him in the shape of world champion Max Verstappen and team-mate Sergio Perez. Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton will start from P5.

We are now just hours away from lights out so here is all the detail you need if you are watching the big race, wherever you are in the world.
