Meanwhile Red Bull's woes intensified with Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez finishing sixth and eighth as they look to remedy their issues this weekend.

As a result, McLaren have narrowed down Red Bull's lead in the constructors' championship with just eight points separating the two teams, whilst Lando Norris remains 62 points behind Verstappen in the drivers' standings.

Last year's Azerbaijan GP was won by Perez, but Red Bull face a significant challenge to get ahead of Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren as the top teams battle it out in qualifying.
