Lando Norris will start the Azerbaijan Grand Prix from 17th on the grid after the Brit was knocked out in Q1 following a late yellow flag on his final run of the session.
In FP3 there was nothing to separate the top teams, and the intense fight for the top spots on the timing screens carried over into qualifying. At the end of Q1, Williams, Haas and Alpine were all represented in the top seven positions.
At the other of the order, there was a huge scalp. Norris abandoned his flying lap after Esteban Ocon brought out the yellow flags, condemning him to a P17 grid slot on Sunday. McLaren apologised to their star driver over the radio, but there was little they could do to improve his mood.
