Max Verstappen has been declared the heavy favourite for race victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday.

The Dutchman soared to his sixth pole position of the season on Saturday in mixed conditions.

With the campaign largely dominated by McLaren, the Woking-based squad finds itself down the order heading into the grand prix with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri lining up in seventh and ninth, respectively.

After the session, RacingNews365 asked you, the fans, who you believe will take victory in Baku.

Almost 70 per cent of voters see Verstappen adding to his win tally.

Despite being in the mid-pack, championship leader Piastri is seen as the second favourite for victory.

Carlos Sainz and Liam Lawson are second and third on the grid, with the latter sensationally being voted in as the third favourite for the victory.
