Ferrari had Charles Leclerc on pole before his pre-race retirement while Sainz finished second behind Max Verstappen and ahead of Norris in third.
"I think that we’re not going to be the best ones on that long straight [in Baku] but at the same time, if we can make the time back on the tight part then we should be okay," said Sainz.
"The one that now should be excited about Baku is my friend Lando Norris... he has a bit of a rocket on the straight."
