The Azerbaijan Grand Prix proved to be a dramatic weekend in terms of the Drivers’ Championship, with leader Oscar Piastri crashing out of the race on Lap 1 while McLaren team mate Lando Norris crossed the line down in seventh.
Max Verstappen, meanwhile, sealed a dominant victory at the Baku City Circuit, marking back-to-back wins after his triumph at the Italian Grand Prix two weeks earlier.
This strong run of form – coupled with a tougher outing for McLaren – has seen Verstappen bring the gap down in the Drivers’ Standings to 69 points from Piastri with seven Grands Prix and three Sprints remaining.
So is Verstappen now back in the championship fight? Or can his rivals keep the four-time World Champion at bay through the rest of the campaign? Have your say in our poll below!
