Second consecutive victory for Max who takes advantage of the flop of the Mc Laren: wall splashes, Norris only seventh. Eighth and ninth place for Hamilton and Leclerc never running for the victory
After the crazy Saturday tests in Baku Max Verstappen shows that MC Laren can be beaten. The Dutch pilot of the Red Bull After the triumph in Monza, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix also wins Taking advantage of the “papaya” day. Oscar Piastristill at the top of the World Championship, leaves the scene on the first lap: After a bad start, his match ends up against a wall. The teammate Lando Norris does little bettertoo passive in the attitude, which is satisfied with the seventh place not thus exploiting the opportunity to approach the teammate in the world championship race. Norris is now 24 points from Piastri (324 to 299), but to seven great prizes from the end and with the morals to the stars Max Verstappen also seems to be back in the running, even if the delay from Plastri is 69 points (the Dutch has so far made 255).
The race
Verstappen went to the top of the first corner And none of the other pilots questioned his victory. A fantastic day for the Dutchman, behind which the Mercedes shone with Russel Secondo and Kimi Antonelli Quarto. The race of Carlos Sainz. The Spaniard, former Ferrari driver, He brought his Williams to the lowest step of the podium After the excellent performance in Saturday tests when only Verstappen had done better than him.
Ferrari too slow
Yet another black day for Ferrarisnow entered a tunnel from which Leclerc nor Hamilton manage to go out. If in the past season Maranello’s machines in some circuits had shown that they could win this season the feeling of being able to triumph at least in a Grand Prix has never been. Much less in Baku, where after the Friday illusion of Saturday the Saturday tests reported everyone on Earth and the result of the Grand Prix was merciless. This Ferrari does not have a step to hold the rhythm of the best single -seater. Leclerc cannot overcome Lawson’s Racing Bulls and is then overcome by Norris. Hamilton lights up in the final but is blocked by the “train” conducted by Lawson and does not even return the position to Leclerc as it should have. Lewis closes eighth, Charles is ninth. Difficult to think you can get worse.
