Verstappen Secures Pole in Chaotic Azerbaijan F1 Qualifying

Max Verstappen is in pole position ahead of Sunday's decisive F1 race at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, after Saturday's qualifying with several crashes.

The weather in Azerbaijan did not give the F1 qualifying the best conditions on Saturday.

Oscar Piastri, who leads the overall standings, crashed into a barrier in pursuit of first place and it was one of several crashes during the race. Charles Leclerc also crashed.

The red flag had to be waved on six occasions, a record number for a qualifying session. The race took an hour longer than scheduled.

In the end, the reigning champion Max Verstappen took pole position, followed by Carlos Sainz and Liam Lawson.
