"Max Verstappen won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix with a dominant run from pole to flag for Red Bull on Sunday, while behind him Oscar Piastri endured an absolute shocker, the world championship leader crashing out on the opening lap. Lando Norris could not take full advantage of his title rival's misjudgment, however, with the British driver starting and finishing in seventh."
"Verstappen made a good start to hold his lead into turn one, but Piastri had a shocking launch from ninth place. He made a jump-start and reacted to that by stopping the car, which was then mired on the grid, dropping him to last. Worse was to follow as the Australian, doubtless aware that he had a lot to do, then locked up at turn five and clattered into the wall."
Max Verstappen dominated the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, leading from pole to the chequered flag for Red Bull. Oscar Piastri crashed out on the opening lap after a jump-start, stopping and then locking up into the barriers, removing the championship leader. Lando Norris started and finished seventh, missing a chance to capitalize fully on Piastri's error and losing only six points to his rival. George Russell finished second for Mercedes. Carlos Sainz achieved a superb third for Williams, the team's first full-distance podium since the 2017 Azerbaijan GP. Lewis Hamilton recovered from 12th to finish eighth for Ferrari. Seven meetings remain.
