Formula 1: 2024 Baku qualifying updates, full starting lineup

There are eight races remaining on the record-breaking 24-race 2024 Formula 1 schedule, and the third one-third of the season is scheduled to get underway at Baku City Circuit this weekend with the Azerbajain Grand Prix.

This 51-lap race around the 20-turn, 3.73-mile (6.003-kilometer) temporary street circuit in Azadliq Square, Baku, Azerbaijan is one of just three that wasn't won by three-time reigning world champion and current world championship leader Max Verstappen during last year's 22-race season. Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez won it in 2023.

Verstappen is currently riding a six-race losing streak after starting the year with seven wins in 10 races, which gave him 27 wins in 33 races. He has failed to win as many races since late June as he did during that entire 33-race stretch, which extends from the 2022 season finale in Abu Dhabi to this year's June race in Spain.

The 26-year-old Dutchman, who still owns a 62-point lead in the standings over McLaren's Lando Norris, has not lost seven races in a row since 2020, back when he was a nine-time Grand Prix winner and went on an 11-race losing streak. He is now a 61-time Grand Prix winner, good for third place on the all-time list.

Despite Baku City Circuit being a relatively tight circuit, it has been five years since the race winner started on the front row. Valtteri Bottas won from pole in 2019. Perez, the only two-time winner of the event, started in sixth place in 2021 and 2023, and Verstappen started in third in 2022. The race was not held in 2020.
