Verstappen sails to victory in Baku as Ferrari suffer double DNF
Max Verstappen enjoyed a comfortable afternoon in Baku as the Dutchman took yet another win in the 2022 season to extend his championship lead. Verstappen's teammate Sergio Pérez made it another 1-2 for Red Bull and the cherry on the cake for Red Bull was the fact that both Ferrari cars suffered technical issues and did not finish the race. Mercedes' George Russell took third place ahead of his teammate Lewis Hamilton while AlphaTauri's Pierre Gasly came home fifth. Aston Martin's Sebastian Vettel finished a strong sixth for the team ahead of Alpine's Fernando Alonso while the McLaren pair of Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris finished eighth and ninth respectively. It was the other Alpine of Esteban Ocon who rounded out the points scoring places after his tenth place finish.
