In the Baku Grand Prix he wins, indeed he wins, la Red Bull with Max Verstappen finishing ahead of Sergio Perez and George Russell. Many surprises in the top ten of this Grand Prix. So let's find out the report card of the Azerbaijan GP.
Max Verstappen
Race dominated. The Dutch driver manages, drives clean and thanks an increasingly balanced car. Extend even more in the drivers' world championship. Vote 10.
Sergio Perez
It ends in the same position in which it started. Excellent start and overtaking on Leclerc; in this period he seems to have something more than the others. Too bad for the radio team: “Don't fight” at the moment of overtaking Verstappen. Vote 9.
George Russell
Continue to be present. By now the top five is always hers. Few times in the middle of the action, but always there. He thanks the Ferrari disaster and gets on the podium again. He is Mercedes' extra weapon this year. Vote 9.
Lewis Hamilton
Finally we see Lewis in the positions that count. Despite the enormous back problems due to porposing, the seven-time world champion is back to showing what he's made of, not that there was much need. Vote 8.
Pierre Gasly
Super Pierre! Top performance by the Frenchman, in excellent form since Monaco. At the Principality, an error had arrived in qualifying; on the other hand, during the weekend in Baku he did nothing wrong and showed off for the riders' market. Rating 8.5.
Sebastian Vettel
It is the only one that manages to bring the Aston Martin brand to the top. With Stroll, who continues to make mistakes and be a disaster, Seb once again manages to hit the top ten. After all, he didn't become a four-time world champion by accident. Vote 9.
Fernando Alonso
Very good performance for the two-time world champion. During Friday, he literally seemed to fly while the first difficulties arose on Saturday. Despite everything he manages to hit the top ten and finish ahead of his teammate. Vote 7.5.
Daniel Ricciardo
The Australian breathes a sigh of relief. It is essential for him to reach the points zone and give a clear message to the team in view of his future. Vote 7.
Lando Norris
He doesn't particularly stand out, but that was kind of his pattern for the weekend. He closes behind his teammate only for a team order. Vote 7.
Esteban Ocon
Increasingly in difficulty compared to his teammate. He hits the entry into the top ten, even if he wasn't perfect in driving. Rating 6.
