It's Max Verstappen to triumph in the Baku street circuit after a race mainly dictated by the withdrawal of the two Reds. In general, however, the Dutchman performs a precise, careful and constant race pace which leads him to win with a gap of almost 15 seconds on his teammate Sergio Perez. For Verstappen it is a victory that is worth gold, considering the extraordinary period of form of his teammate Sergio Perez, who in fact finished behind him after having been in the lead for part of the race.
Between luck and skill
According to SuperMax, luck was a dominant factor in the race but, in his opinion, he would have managed to win the race even without Leclerc's retirement thanks to the excellent pace shown by his Red Bull"I had a great pace, I managed to overtake Perez and of course I was lucky with my rivals retiring".
Verstappen: "I had everything I needed"
The Dutch thanked the Ferrari. In fact, thanks to Leclerc's retirement, Verstappen extends even further in the drivers' championship, even if according to him, even with Leclerc in the race, the fate of the Grand Prix would not have changed.
” However, I think I would have won anyway, given how the single-seater was going, and I'm satisfied with the balance of the car. I had everything it took to prevail and we must continue to be precise".
