Lando Norris has won five races so far in 2025
Title rivals Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri start the Azerbaijan Grand Prix seventh and ninth following a chaotic qualifying session that ran to double its normal length.
The Baku street circuit is notorious for creating incident - its combination of long straights and tight, right-angled corners are bounded by walls, so mistakes tend to be punished.
This time, difficult conditions created a challenge that led to six drivers - more than a quarter of the field - crashing during qualifying. The resulting six red flags was a Formula 1 record.
Piastri said: "You add in wind, kind of a tyre uncertainty, a little bit of rain, cold conditions on a street track like this and stuff's going to happen."
