As the 2022 Azerbaijan Grand Prix got under way, it was Red Bull’s Sergio Perez who aced the start from P2, as pole-sitter Charles Leclerc locked up, conceding the lead to the Mexican.
Leclerc, starting from pole for the second year in a row – a first in Baku – locked up his inside front-left tyre and ran slightly wide at Turn 1, which was all the invitation Perez needed, as he nipped past the Ferrari into the lead.
