Red Bull Racing notched up another one-two finish following a disastrous run for Ferrari.
Max Verstappen secured the win on Sunday at the 2022 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, ahead of teammate Sergio Perez. The final podium position was taken by Mercedes-Benz AMG’s George Russell.
Ferrari's Charles Leclerc started the race on pole, with Perez also on the front row. Leclerc got off the line slowly and then locked his brakes going into turn one, allowing Perez to initially take the lead. Behind them, Verstappen was snapping at the heels of Leclerc while at the same time trying to hold off Ferrari's Carlos Sainz. A disastrous run for Ferrari then started on lap nine when Sainz came to a stop due to a hydraulic issue. This caused the virtual safety car to come out, at which point Ferrari decided to pit Leclerc.Unfortunately for Leclerc, his stop was delayed by a stuck front jack. He eventually rejoined the race in third, 12.8 seconds behind Verstappen who was 2.
There would be another virtual safety car on lap 33 when Haas' Kevin Magnussen pulled out at the side of track, as his Ferrari power unit also decided to fail. Both Red Bull drivers stopped for fresh tires at this point, as did Russell who would soon have to defend against fellow Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton in the battle for third.
After eight rounds, Verstappen now has a commanding lead in the 2022 Drivers' Championship. He sits on 150 points versus the 129 of Perez and 116 of Leclerc. In the Constructors' Championship, Red Bull leads with 279 points versus the 199 of Ferrari and 161 of Mercedes. The next round on the calendar is the Canadian Grand Prix on this weekend.Below are the full results from the 2022 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix3) George Russell, Mercedes-Benz AMG +45.
