    Hello again, folks. With a three-hour time difference between the UK and Azerbaijan, Saturday's track action is an early start for us.

    Friday's running saw plenty of dives down the escape roads and drivers grappling with very low grip on the 6.003km dusty circuit.

    Third practice goes green at 09:30 BST.

    Qualifying gets under way at 13:00 BST.

    The final practice session will be available on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds, while the fight for pole will be online-only using the 'listen live' tab at the top of this page.

    You can also listen to both sessions via most smart speakers. Just ask BBC Sounds to play the Azerbaijan Grand Prix followed by the current session.

    Roughed up in first practice but rapid in the second. It was an interesting day on the streets of Baku for Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.

    The Monegasque driver has secured pole position three times in a row at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix and will be a firm favourite to claim a fourth in qualifying this afternoon.

    However, out of those trio of poles, none have been converted into a race win, with the Red Bulls of Max Verstappen (2022) and Sergio Perez (2021 and 2023) claiming the top step of the podium instead.

    Who will take the front-row spot today? There's just one more dress rehearsal before we find out...
