Do the teams concentrate on race pace or qualifying pace?

Usually with a street circuit, position is everything, so you want to start as high up as possible.

But this Baku circuit is so long, it's an unusual track, you could actually focus on race pace and qualify towards the back or the middle and very quickly, come to the front.

That's why this track offers some fantastic racing.

“Let’s say on Fridays if the car is a bit nervous, it is not as comfortable for me to learn the circuit, most probably due to experience more than anything. I don’t know the tracks, so when I start pushing straight away and make these small mistakes and have these small snaps of oversteer, then it takes me a bit longer to get comfortable with the car.

“It was a joint decision. Toro Rosso has that experience and they know what us rookies need to get confidence in the cars.”

On a street track, with walls ever-present, it has to be a smart move - and as it happens it’s exactly what Sauber did last year for Charles Leclerc, after which he never looked back. Can it have the same effect for Albon?

Max Verstappen is yet to go out on a fast lap on the softs.

There's a lot of smoke on his tyres coming from the brakes... and now a flame...

Alexander Albon won Formula 1’s official driver of the day fan vote for his drive to 10th place and the final point in China after starting from the pit lane because of his crash in final practice.

Albon, who has dual British-Thai nationality through his British father and Thai mother - racing under the Thai flag, has made a strong start to his F1 career, but has looked a little wild as well as pretty fast.

As a result, he and Toro Rosso have made a change to their approach to practice, the idea being to start him off with a car that has a bit more built-in understeer safety than he has had so far.

“We have changed the run plan on my side a little bit to make it easier for me to get up to speed,” Albon said. “It is just making the car a bit more predictable earlier on Fridays, and then I can be more aggressive with set-up through the weekend. It’s for me to get more confidence early in the run. It is more having the car a little bit, let’s say, more focused on stability rather than anything else. So I can build into it with the track. Melbourne and China were new to me so you want a car that you can feel - so you can spend more time learning the track than learning the car.

Lando Norris has made an impressive start to his debut season with McLaren, qualifying in the top 10 in two of the three races and finishing a best-of-the-rest sixth in Bahrain. But the 19-year-old said he rated it only as “six out of 10”.

Why? “Just a couple of mistakes here and there. Ten is nailing everything, which won’t happen. China not going to plan through qualifying and the race. Bahrain as a whole I would rate very good. Australia there was the potential to get points if I had done a better job. Maybe not as bad as a six. But there were just a couple of points here and there where there was the potential to do a bit better overall.”

And his biggest take away? “Probably confidence in myself, which is where I probably struggled the most coming into Australia. Bahrain I was more relaxed. I enjoyed Australia but I was so tense I couldn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to. It’s good I’ve done well, for the people on the outside but also for my own confidence.”

Turn Two must be one of the hardest corners.

You've got a massively long straight just cooling your tyres, you've got to do a very late brake -that's where we've seen a lot of people lock fronts...

But then you've got another long drag down to Turn Two, after only doing one corner.

Kayleigh: So we’re 2 for 2 with red flags! Will we get 5 for 5 this weekend?!

This is not what the other teams needed.

They needed to absolutely maximise their track time in this session and now, thanks to Lance Stroll, they've not been able to do that.
