A draining day of practice in Baku concluded with Charles Leclerc leading a Ferrari 1-2 at the end of FP2, but it was yet another session interrupted by red flags.

Leclerc posted a 1:42.872 during his qualifying simulation run with team-mate Sebastian Vettel three tenths behind. Lewis Hamilton concluded the top three a further three tenths back.

Max Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas followed next, but Daniil Kvyat in the Toro Rosso gatecrashed the top six before proceeding to crash out of the session with a big shunt into the barriers.

Lance Stroll would also see his session come to an abrupt end with a crash of his own.
