Al Jazeera EnglishFactual
George Russell won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix for Mercedes, holding off Max Verstappen by 0.196 seconds after two safety car phases turned his lights-to-flag drive into a fight for survival. Isack Hadjar finished third on his return from a wrist injury, while Kimi Antonelli recovered from 16th on the grid to finish fifth and protect his championship lead, now 66 points over Russell. The win was Russell's third of the season and the eighth of his career.
