F1 Azerbaijan GP Results Today: Verstappen flounders as championship rivals fly

All the times from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix practice session

Originally written by Chris Deeley. This version is a translation.

Two red flags came out on Saturday in Azerbaijan for the final session of free practice, further signalling a race likely to be impacted by safety cars.

The first was broadly unrelated to the circuit's tight confines, Esteban Ocon's Alpine losing drive and causing him to stop on track, but the second stoppage came thanks to Ollie Bearman running too deep into a corner and hitting the wall as he attempted to escape to the run-off area.
