Russell wins crash-filled Azerbaijan GP

George Russell held off Max Verstappen to win a dramatic, crash-filled Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver finished second, with Isack Hadjar completing the podium in third.

Russell's hard-fought victory

Russell had to work mightily hard for the race win, coming under severe pressure from Verstappen and Hadjar after a dramatic finish to the race. Reigning world champion Lando Norris was among those who crashed out.

Championship implications

Kimi Antonelli, who finished fifth, loses a bit of ground in the race for this year's world championship. The next race is the Malaysian Grand Prix next weekend.
