The Formula One seasons will head to Baku this weekend as the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen will look to continue their rise to the top in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The main event is scheduled to begin on Sunday, June 6 amidst much fanfare especially considering the ongoing rivalry between Mercedes and Red Bull. Here's a look at how to watch Azerbaijan Grand Prix qualifying in Australia, Azerbaijan GP 2021 live stream Australia details and the Azerbaijan Grand Prix qualifying time in Australia and New Zealand. 

Azerbaijan Grand Prix preview 

The Red Bull vs Mercedes F1 rivalry has taken new twists and turns after the fateful Monaco Grand Prix last time out. While the subject of flexi-wings continues to be debated, Max Verstappen leads the Drivers' Championship for the first time ever and has a four-point lead over the legendary Lewis Hamilton. 

Red Bull meanwhile are also leading the Constructors' Championship after Mercedes' nightmare in Monaco and back to back street races does give the former the edge. Nonetheless, Baku has the longest straight in the F1 this season and the track is built for overtaking, meaning there are likely to be many one on one battles during the qualifying and the main event this weekend. Verstappen stamped his authority by clinching free practice one, clocking 1min 43.184sec, with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc only 0.043sec behind. Carlos Sainz was third with Sergio Perez in fourth as reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton was only seventh.
