If the highly competitive FP3 session was anything to go by, qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix will be scintillating viewing.
Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes each topped on of the free practice sessions, showcasing just how close the leading teams are in Baku.
McLaren has yet to show its best hand, but cannot be discounted. With Sergio Perez also back in the fight, there could be an eight-way fight for pole.
Williams showed a good account of itself in FP3 - both Alex Albon and Franco Colapinto ending in the top 10. Can they transfer that form to qualifying?
