Valtteri Bottas set the pace in final practice for the Azerbaijan GP, a session in which Jolyon Palmer’s luck went from bad to worse.

Palmer managed just four laps of the Baku circuit on Saturday afternoon before he was down the Turn 2 escape road with his Renault on fire.

The marshals drowned his RS17 in fire retardant foam, preventing further damage.

With the yellows eventually lifted at Turn 2, the action heated up as did the track temperature – up to 59’C!
