Alex Albon's qualifying session at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix came
to a premature end following a crash in the opening minutes of Q1.
The Williams driver was starting a hot lap when he clipped the
inside barrier at Turn 1. It marked a disappointing low for Albon,
who finished inside the top 10 during every practice session this
weekend and was looking promising for an entry into Q3. The crash
caused a brief red flag, but the session was resumed swiftly after
the stricken Williams was cleared away. Albon is now set to start
the grand prix on Sunday from the back of the grid. The 29-year-old
entered the Baku weekend in strong form, scoring points at four out
of the last five races.
