120 minutes until the start: Commentary by Charles Leclerc

      Charles Leclerc will start tenth in Baku and hopes to fight back...

      Charles Leclerc: "Of course I'm disappointed after that qualifying. The car is damaged, but I'm completely fine. Today several drivers are starting from positions they're not used to. For example, both McLarens on the grid are right in front of me. In theory we should be faster than the Mercedes and the other midfield cars. My goal is to make up ground as quickly as possible and move up into the top positions."
