Nineteen drivers took part in the F1 qualifying session. Jolyon Palmer of the Renault F1 team dropped out of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix qualifying session, as his car caught fire at the beginning of the third free practice session today after fuel leak, and it was delivered to the boxes with a long delay after the session, so the mechanics had no enough time to repair the car. The Renault F1 team will ask the International Automobile Federation (FIA) to admit the driver to the starting grid of tomorrow’s race.



On June 25, Baku will host the 2017 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix and the second race of the FIA Formula 2.
