OFFICIAL GRID – Who starts where for Sunday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix

A Ferrari on pole for this first time this season and only one Mercedes making Q3. Those were the headlines from qualifying in Baku, but since then there’s been a couple of minor tweaks to the starting line-up for Sunday’s race.
He may have lost out on victory in Saturday's F1 Sprint, but Charles Leclerc has another chance to go for glory when he starts from P1 ahead of the two Red Bulls, with a thrilling 51 laps in prospect.
At the other end of the order, both the Haas of Nico Hulkenberg and the Alpine of Esteban Ocon will start from the pit lane, after both cars were modified while under Parc Ferme conditions.
