It was essentially a mini-qualifying session, which determined the starting grid for the sprint race later in the day.<\/p><p>Similar to regular qualifying, this session was divided into three sessions as SQ1, SQ2, and SQ3. Logan Sargent collided with the wall near the end of SQ1, bringing the session to a halt and eliminating Yuki Tsunoda who had a brilliant performance just 24 hours earlier.<\/p><p>Alex Albon had one of his most impressive performances so far, qualifying in front of both the Aston Martins.<\/p><p>Charles Leclerc carried the momentum of yesterday to secure the pole position once again, followed closely by Sergio Perez in his Red Bull RB19. However, the Monogasque finished the session in an unusual manner, heading straight into the wall after setting the fastest time of the session.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Charles Leclerc 1m 41.697s<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Sergio Perez 1m 41.844s<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Max Verstappen 1m 41.987s<\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/supercars.com.gh\/2023-azerbaijan-grand-prix-sprint-shootout-sprint-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/supercars.com.gh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/f1_azerbaijan_day2_post_img1.jpg\" alt=\"azerbaijan, GP, AzerbaijanGP, symbol,race track,color,city,nation,baku,azerbaijan flag,speed,symbols,raceway,street,design,logo,national,racetrack,art,azerbaijan,race,gp,race,calendar,speedway,background,culture,formula,illustration,travel, azerbaijan, GP, AzerbaijanGP, symbol,race track,color,city,nation,baku,azerbaijan flag,speed,symbols,raceway,street,design,logo,national,racetrack,art,azerbaijan,race,gp,race,calendar,speedway,background,culture,formula,illustration,travel, azerbaijan, GP, AzerbaijanGP, symbol,race track,color,city,nation,baku,azerbaijan flag,speed,symbols,raceway,street,design,logo,national,racetrack,art,azerbaijan,race,gp,race,calendar,speedway,background,culture,formula,illustration,travel,\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/supercars.test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/f1_azerbaijan_day2_post_img1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/supercars.test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/f1_azerbaijan_day2_post_img1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/supercars.test\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/f1_azerbaijan_day2_post_img1-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/supercars.com.gh\/2023-azerbaijan-grand-prix-sprint-shootout-sprint-race\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sprint Race\n<\/a><\/h2>\t\t\n\t\t<p>The 17-lap sprint race started with Charles Leclerc speeding off into the distance, with George Russell and Max Verstappen having a bit of a tangle for P3.

The Aston Martin pair also managed to turn around their somewhat disappointing weekend to a double-point scoring finish. Elsewhere, Logan Sargent had to enjoy the sprint race from the pits as the damage he incurred during the shootout was deemed too much to fix in time, while Esteban Ocon had to take the start from the pitlane due to some changes done under Parc Ferme.<\/p><ol>\n<li>Sergio Perez 33:17.667<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Charles Leclerc +4.463s<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight:
