At the stage of the lap, Hamilton appeared to be well in the fight for pole position when he set the fastest first sector of the final part of qualifying. This allowed him to be four tenths ahead of his Mercedes teammate George Russell’s car.Mercedes won three of the four races that took place before the summer break for Formula One, but their performance began to decline after the season resumed. Russell’s third-place finish in Azerbaijan was the only time that Mercedes finished on the podium in the series’ most recent four races.

However, he would experience a significant loss of time in the second sector as a result of an error that he made at Turn 12. This occurred after the yellow flags that were thrown to warn him of Williams’ Franco Colapinto going off track ahead of him caused his braking point to be adjusted.
