Max Verstappen took a dominant victory in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, further solidifying the belief in a Red Bull revival, as McLaren’s Lando Norris reduced team-mate Oscar Piastri’s championship lead to 25 points.
Piastri crashed out on the opening lap, but his error wasn’t as costly as it could have been, as Norris, starting seventh, struggled to make progress and gained only six points on his rival.
McLaren’s strategy to give Norris a tyre advantage with a late pit stop didn’t pay off, as Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson held off Norris, Yuki Tsunoda, and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton for the final 10 laps without anyone making significant headway.
Mercedes' George Russell drove a brilliant race, moving from fifth to second, while Carlos Sainz secured third for Williams, marking their first podium since the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix.
Key takeaways from the race:
Piastri retained a relatively comfortable lead despite his mistake-filled weekend.
Verstappen’s victory reinforced the notion of a Red Bull resurgence.
