Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2021: Race start time UK, practice, qualifying and how can I watch on TV?

It’s all change in the F1 title race as we head into the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton’s best ever start to a season ended in Monaco with a poor qualifying and subsequent seventh-placed finish, as Max Verstappen took advantage of the tight corners, and Charles Leclerc’s dodgy gearbox, to see out the win.

Verstappen is now four points ahead of Hamilton as the season heads to Baku for just the fourth time.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc will start on pole position from Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen after a thrilling qualifying session on Saturday.

Here’s all the information you need to tune in...
