Charles Leclerc secured a spectacular victory at Monza last time out, while his future Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton also has racked up two victories in a season in which seven drivers have at least one win to their name.
Lando Norris also has two wins from Miami and Zandvoort secured, as McLaren are now only eight points behind Red Bull in the constructors' championship.
Despite a seven-race winless streak, Max Verstappen remains ahead of Norris in the championship standings, holding a 62-point advantage heading into Baku.
