Lando Norris starts as favourite for Azerbaijan Grand Prix pole position after setting a blistering Baku pace in the blustery conditions of final practice.
With strong and changeable winds set to be a factor in qualifying, drivers are set to be tested but can anyone deny Norris a fifth pole of the season?
His nearest challengers in FP3 were Max Verstappen, Oscar Piastri and Lewis Hamilton - so who will master the conditions?
If Charles Leclerc takes pole, it would be the fifth year in succession he will start P1 in Baku, moving equal third all-time with Michael Schumacher in Japan and Spain. The record is held by Ayrton Senna with seven in Monaco, with Hamilton second with six in Australia.
