After an interminable four-week wait, Formula 1 engines roar again this weekend in Azerbaijan, starting with FP1 on Friday.
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix is the first Sprint event of the 2023 season, and a change to the format means qualifying for Sunday's race will take place on Friday afternoon, with the whole of Saturday's running taken up by the Sprint race and its own dedicated qualifying session.
This means FP1 takes on extra importance, as it is the only opportunity for teams to dial in their cars and fine-tune their setups before the competitive action begins.
Below you will find our dedicated live blog and live timing hub. The times refresh automatically during the session, so you are always up to date.
In the blog, we will provide you with the latest developments during FP1 in Azerbaijan. You can easily switch between live timing and the live blog via the tabs.
