Final practice for this weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix was a busy session on the streets of Baku, as pole and victory contender Max Verstappen crashed his Red Bull midway through the session, while Pierre Gasly topped the time sheets for AlphaTauri.
Verstappen was sounding confident after the two Friday practice sessions, but his preparations for an assault on pole position were halted when he went head-on into the barriers at Turn 15.

But star of the session was Pierre Gasly, who was quickest for AlphaTauri, ahead of Sergio Perez in the other Red Bull. Lewis Hamilton gave Mercedes a modicum of hope after a very difficult weekend so far, finishing third fastest – though his time may have been helped by a tow from Perez's car ahead.
