McLaren boss Andrea Stella noted that the Baku City Circuit did not suit his team this weekend.

However, that made the third- and fifth-placed finish in qualifying all the more impressive.

He said that those positions were helped by some challenges faced by their rivals, meaning he expects a solid fight at the pointy end of the race.

"We expect Red Bull and Mercedes to be very strong," Stella said.

"This is a different competitive picture from Madrid, where we felt we had the quickest car and should have won without the Virtual Safety Car.

"Baku can, however, produce a long and eventful race, with tyre degradation, Safety Cars and other situations creating opportunities.

"Our objective will be to stay in contention, fight for the podium and be ready to exploit every opportunity that comes our way.

"We will focus on executing our race well and putting ourselves in the best possible position to capitalise."
