Mercedes ace George Russell must capitalise on this golden opportunity: the Englishman can tackle the Grand Prix on the treacherous Baku City Circuit from pole position, whilst his title rival Kimi Antonelli is (following a crash in qualifying) down in P16.
Russell fears stiff competition from Charles Leclerc (second on the grid) and Max Verstappen (only eighth), but beware: at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, championship leader Antonelli charged from P19 to victory!
Yellow flags and safety car periods are almost guaranteed in street races; the championship round might even have to be interrupted. It wouldn’t be the first time. Follow our live ticker here to make sure you don’t miss any of the key moments.
