Russell Wins Azerbaijan GP

George Russell delivered a dominant performance at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, leading from pole to flag to claim his third victory of the season. The British driver managed two tense restarts after safety car periods and maintained his lead despite being hounded by Max Verstappen to the line.

The win significantly boosted Russell's championship hopes as he closed the gap to teammate and title leader Kimi Antonelli. Antonelli delivered a strong comeback drive, finishing fifth from 16th on the grid, but Russell clawed back 15 points on the Italian with his impressive victory. syntagm.co.za
