George Russell of Mercedes won Saturday's Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku. The British driver started from pole position and beat Red Bull's Max Verstappen at the finish by one tenth of a second. Verstappen's team-mate Isack Hadjar took third place. kultura.pravda.sk ↗
Russell held a significant lead for most of the race, but two safety car periods complicated his advantage. After the neutralisation, the gap between the drivers narrowed and Verstappen attacked the leader in the closing stages. Despite problems when driving through a yellow-flag zone, Russell held on to first place. BBC News ↗
The race was also affected by crashes and technical problems. Reigning world champion Lando Norris did not finish the race. The championship leader and Russell's Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli worked his way up to fifth place after starting from 16th. His result allowed him to limit his losses despite the unfavourable starting position. Der Standard ↗
For Russell, it was the third win of this season and the eighth triumph of his career. With the win, he also cut his gap to Antonelli to 66 points. Following Russell's success, Mercedes moved ahead of Ferrari in the all-time ranking of engine manufacturers by number of Formula 1 wins. Index.hu ↗
The result in Baku strengthened Russell's position in the fight for the championship lead. Verstappen took second place, and Hadjar, returning to the podium, finished third. Le Figaro ↗
