Red Bull driver Max Verstappen wins Formula 1's Azerbaijan Grand Prix

  • Max Verstappen won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday, holding pole and leading the race from start to finish in Baku.
  • The race featured a chaotic weekend for championship leader Oscar Piastri, who crashed in qualifying and again on the opening lap after a jump start.
  • Lando Norris struggled despite Piastri's exit, facing a slow pit stop with front-right wheel issues and finishing seventh after losing positions mid-race.
  • Verstappen's commanding 14.6-second victory margin over George Russell, who battled illness to finish second, marked his fourth win this season and back-to-back triumphs for the first time in 15 months.
  • McLaren missed the chance to secure a consecutive constructors' title, now delaying hopes until the Singapore race in two weeks as Piastri's crash ended his 34-race scoring streak.
