Russell holds his nerve to see off Verstappen and win Azerbaijan GP
In any case, the gap between Antonelli and Russell is so large that even him crashing out on the first lap, as then-championship leader Oscar Piastri did here last year, and Russell winning would not dramatically improve the Briton’s chances of winning the title. Still, every little helps.
It is, again, four different makes of car in the top four with Oscar Piastri third and Isack Hadjar (who returns after a wrist injury) in fourth, with Lando Norris, Lewis Hamilton, Pierre Gasly, Max Verstappen, Carlos Sainz and Franco Colapinto finishing off the top 10, though Sainz has taken a five-place grid drop.
The race begins at noon BST and we will be here for all of the build-up, latest updates and reaction from the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
