A Thrilling Victory for Perez

SERGIO PEREZ GAVE A stellar performance in Baku by winning the drama-filled Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday, finishing ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen, to strengthen his championship bid.

Earlier, Verstappen and Perez passed pole-sitter Leclerc and continued to exchange best lap-times at the front of the pack. The turning point in this race came when a Safety Car was deployed on either side of the Red Bull drivers’ pit-stops.

Verstappen made his pit-stop under yellow flags that were raised when Nyck de Vries stopped on the track and Perez followed suit under a Safety Car, clearing his teammate and returning to the action in the lead.
