Hamilton admits 'We definitely weren't expecting that!'
Lewis Hamilton shrugged off what had been a dismal build up in practice to snatch second place on the grid for the 2021 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, with a well-timed push during an accident-strewn qualifying session on Saturday. Neither Mercedes driver finished in the top ten at the end of Friday, although a perfectly timed run in the slipstream did help Hamilton bounce back to third place in final practice on Saturday. Although it looked very unlikely that he would be able to pull off the same surprise in qualifying, a low-downforce rear wing meant he was able to run to the line in the two behind his team mate Valtteri Bottas.
