McLaren's Formula One championship leader Oscar Piastri crashed in the final phase of qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Saturday.

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, who was bidding for a fifth successive Baku pole position, also hit the wall in the top 10 shootout.

McLaren are hoping to clinch the constructors' title with seven rounds to spare on Sunday.
