Still them. In Azerbaijan comes the umpteenth victory of Red Bull and vince with Sergio Perez. The Mexican closes in front of his teammate Verstappen and Charles Leclerc's Ferrari. Another one-two punch, which confirms, not that it was necessary, how much the RB19 goes much faster than the others.
The report cards, the podium
Sergio Perez
Perfect race. He manages to take advantage of Verstappen's pit stop and, following the safety car, gets back in front of him confirming his domain on this track. Vote 10.
Max Verstappen
Wrong strategy that made him lose the first position gained initially. Starting in third place, he manages to overtake Leclerc, but his teammate was uncatchable today. After all, he drives a Red Bull and it's Max Verstappen. Grade 8.
Charles Leclerc
There's a lot to work on, that's clear. But… what do we want to talk about? Due pole and two podiums. The two in front play another sport, and he's right after. Vote 10.
Off the podium
Fernando Alonso
After qualifying full of difficulties, following the problems with the DRS, Aston Martin and Fernando Alonso confirmed their racing drivers. Fourth place which is worth a lot and demonstrates once again how Aston is now a top team. Grade 9.
Carlos Sainz
Never in feeling with the car all weekend. He has since Friday complained that he could not get in tune with the SF-23. He conquers a fifth place which however demonstrates a Ferrari in recovery. Grade 6.
Lewis Hamilton
A position lost compared to the start. He does his best to defend himself from Alonso who eventually flies away. He lacked speed in the final to attack Sainz. Grade 7.
Lance stroll
Very classic race. Nothing more and nothing less, considering the strength of Aston. Rating 6.5.
George Russell
Race compromised due to his eleventh position in the standings. The car still doesn't give guarantees and the two drivers can hardly do more than this.
Lando Norris
Since Friday we have seen a good McLaren, especially with him on the ball. There is obviously still a lot, a lot to do, but the first updates already seem to be paying off. Grade 7.
Yuki tsunoda
Awarded for the great qualifying done on Friday. He enters the top ten gaining very important points for the team. Rating 6.5.
