It was first the Monegasque who slammed the SF25 into the barrier, followed by the Australian, who lost control just minutes after Leclerc's incident.The Azerbaijan GP qualifying was one to remember, with the tight and twisty nature of the track bringing out multiple yellow and red flags as drivers pushed the limits, went deep, and crashed out.

The Monegasque locked up the inside front going into the corner and slammed into the barrier, bringing out the red flag. The whole front end was damaged, and as Charles Leclerc jumped out of the car, he threw his gloves into the cockpit in frustration.As the track went green once Leclerc's car was removed, just a little over seven minutes were left on the clock, with everyone venturing out to set a lap time. As Oscar Piastri started his first flying lap, the Australian found the barrier on the exit of Turn 3.With the drizzle making the already difficult-to-navigate circuit ever trickier, drivers were just feeling the grip going into every corner. Unfortunately for Oscar Piastri, he didn't brake hard enough into Turn 3, went in way too quickly, didn't have the grip, ran wide, slammed the car into the barrier, and damaged the front right.McLaren’s woeful qualifying at Azerbaijan as Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris fail to make the Top 5Lando Norris had a difficult start to the weekend at Baku as he crashed out in FP2 after hitting the barriers.
