Verstappen and Teammate Hadjar Podium Finish as Russell Wins in Baku
George Russell won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Saturday, with Max Verstappen finishing second and teammate Isack Hadjar taking third. The race was held on Saturday due to a national commemoration for the Nagorno-Karabakh war. Safety car interruptions following crashes involving Alexander Albon, Franco Colapinto, Pierre Gasly, and Lando Norris reshuffled the field. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli finished fifth, maintaining a 66-point lead over Russell. McLaren scored no points as Oscar Piastri dropped to fourteenth. The next race is scheduled for Malaysia.
