Charles Leclerc had scored four consecutive pole positions prior to his crash.
During the final part of qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc crashed his Ferrari, resulting in the same number of red flags as in any typical F1 qualifying session.
Despite his four consecutive pole positions at Baku, Leclerc failed to secure a win at the circuit.
Hoping for a fifth pole position this year, the Monégasque driver’s session ended abruptly as he crashed into the Tecpro barrier at Turn 15.
This marked the fifth red flag in the session, matching the previous record set in the 2021 Sao Paulo Grand Prix and the 2022 race at Imola.
The session was stopped with seven minutes remaining, leaving Williams’ Carlos Sainz temporarily on pole ahead of the Racing Bulls duo Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar.
