Now the dust has settled on a dramatic weekend in Monaco, F1 heads to the Azerbaijan GP as the drivers prepare to take on another street circuit.

It is off to Baku for round eight of the 2022 season as the battle for the drivers' championship increasingly looks like a three-horse race, with Sergio Perez sitting just six points behind Charles Leclerc and 15 points behind Max Verstappen after his victory in Monaco.

The whole weekend is live only on Sky Sports F1, with an earlier Sunday race start at 12pm and build-up live from 10.30am.

Charles Leclerc starts on pole, just as he did in 2021, with Sergio Perez completing the front row of the grid.

Max Verstappen and carlos Sainz then make up the second row to complete a Ferrari and red Bull lock out.

Baku is known for its speed and drama, the 51-lap, 6.003 kilometre City Circuit featuring a long main straight where drivers will be looking to use the slipstream. Intense strategic battles between Verstappen and Leclerc, the likes of which we have already seen this season, are surely on the cards again.

Elsewhere, Mercedes will be hoping Azerbaijan is as incident-filled as ever as they look to work George Russell from P5 and Lewis Hamilton from P7 up the order and into the contention for some podium places- as ever, anything is possible in Baku!
