HIGHLIGHTS: All the key moments from FP3 in Baku as Gasly goes fastest and Verstappen crashes
Final practice for this weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix was a busy session on the streets of Baku, as pole and victory contender Max Verstappen crashed his Red Bull midway through the session, while Pierre Gasly topped the time sheets for AlphaTauri.
Verstappen was sounding confident after the two Friday practice sessions, but his preparations for an assault on pole position were halted when he went head-on into the barriers at Turn 15.
