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. "When he overtook me, I was not too worried. I thought I would stick with him and overtake him again once the tyres were up to temperature. But that opportunity never arose again. They were too quick on the straights. It was a small misjudgement but it hurts."
Leclerc now had to fend off Perez and Sainz, who had a lonely race for much of the duration but closed on the top three during the final stages as Piastri measured his pace to hold off Leclerc. Norris was able to help Piastri by holding up Perez briefly after the Mexican had made his pit stop and just before Piastri was about to make his, ensuring the Australian was able to return to the track ahead of Perez.
