At the end of the first lap Leclerc is trying to break the DRS zone from Verstappen. DRS isn't enabled yet, but that's what cost Leclerc against Perez in the sprint.
No driver has won two Azerbaijan GPs before, while Leclerc has never won the Azerbaijan GP. We've got a strong feeling one of those facts will change today.
This extra 10 minutes of pre-race grid fun appears to have resulted in more time for standing around and taking selfies. You could get a sprint race run in this time waiting around.
Charles Leclerc, Ferrari SF-23, Sergio Perez, Red Bull Racing RB19, Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing RB19, George Russell, Mercedes F1 W14, the rest of the field at the start
What to watch out for: Polesitter Leclerc will aim to fend off the charging Red Bulls but is braced for a tough task given the superior race pace of his rivals. Safety cars and red flags are a common occurrence in Baku, so strategies could be flipped in an instant.
Back to today's action, and the grid will comprise of 18 drivers because both Ocon and Hulkenberg are starting from pitlane due to respective car changes under parc ferme.
An exchange of views is probably the most polite way we can put it between Verstappen and Russell. It wasn't quite Verstappen vs Ocon at Brazilian 2018, but they probably won't be sharing flights home.
In case you were pre-occupied yesterday and missed the action, here's a round-up: Perez won the sprint race overhauling polesitter Leclerc, with Verstappen third after an exchange of bodywork in the sprint and views straight after with Russell.
The drivers are already making their way to the starting grid on the reconnaissance laps, a small rule tweak from this round, meaning pitlane opens 10 minutes earlier than previous. Why? For extra grid activities!
