The final practice for tomorrow's 2018 Azerbaijan GP was kicked off by McLaren driver Fernando Alonso, who was the first to leave the pit.
In the beginning of the session Kevin Magnussen (Haas) was told on the radio that a few raindrops were seen at the back of the circuit.
Both Ferrari drivers with Vettel in front again top the time-sheets throughout the session. All fastest lap times were set on ultra soft (purple) tyres.
All drivers had a lot of trouble with winds that surprised them in turn 16. We saw a lot cars going wide there and fighting to keep their car on the Baku street circuit. The wind was also turning a lot, which made it even harder to anticipate on the effect the winds have of the car while turning into the corners.
At the end of the session Sergey Sirotkin crashed his car into the barrier and broke the right front suspension on the Williams FW41. The session got red flagged and all cars had to go back into the pit.
