30 minutes until the start: Liam Lawson's commentary

      Liam Lawson will start third in Baku and hopes to score a lot of points in today's race…

      Liam Lawson: "It's great that we're starting from third — the team did an excellent job in yesterday's qualifying. From the very beginning of the weekend we had a fast car, although yesterday was tough for everyone and the session ran on for two hours. In any case, of course, the bulk of the work has to be done today.

      It's difficult to make a clean start and get through the first corner on this circuit without incident, especially since the run-up to it is quite short here, but overall this track is very interesting and the races here always follow a crazy script. Basically, you have to be prepared for lots of different things to happen, and you just have to try to make the right decisions and keep a strong pace. We'll see what we can do.

      Since very fast cars are starting behind us, it will be hard to hold onto third place — we understand that. But it'll all be decided during the race, and it promises to be very interesting!"
