Marina Bay Street Circuit: Max Verstappen dominated and won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix for Red Bull, but Lando Norris gained a bit as he trimmed teammate Oscar Piastri's lead in the Formula One Drivers' Championship to 25 points even though the Briton failed to take full advantage of Piastri's early crash in an eventful race on Sunday..

The Dutch reigning F1 champion was never challenged on Sunday in Baku, comfortably leading home George Russell and Carlos Sainz in a lights-to-flag victory.

Verstappen never trailed on the streets of Baku, leading all 51 laps and winning by over 14 seconds from Mercedes' George Russell and Carlos Sainz, who claimed his first podium for Williams, having just lost out on pole position.
