Red Bull Secures Double Podium for First Time Since April: 'My First Perfect Weekend with the Team'
Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar finished second and third at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, marking Red Bull Racing's first double podium since April 2024. Winner George Russell of Mercedes held off Verstappen by just 0.195 seconds despite a late charge, while Hadjar returned from a wrist injury to secure his third career podium. The result confirmed Hadjar’s seat for next season, replacing Liam Lawson and Yuki Tsunoda. Verstappen noted that while the car balance was good, an engine issue in qualifying hindered his start, though he remains optimistic about maximizing results each weekend despite Mercedes’ upcoming upgrades.
