Lando Norris drives an extraordinary race to catch as his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri wins an engrossing Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Lando Norris drove an extraordinary race to catch and pass title rival Max Verstappen as his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri won an engrossing Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Leclerc followed him in a lap later and in theory should have easily had sufficient cushion to hold the lead to the end. Although Piastri was now in the lead, Leclerc was not done there, and he stuck hard to the McLaren, with Perez close behind, trying to find an opening.A few times Leclerc was close enough to try a move into Turn One, but Piastri always covered the inside line and had just enough to hold the Ferrari at bay with aggressive but clean defence.
The Red Bull had its front wheel inside Sainz’s rear and the two touched, spinning violently into the wall and taking both out of the race.
