The F1 2021 season continues on the streets of Baku, Azerbaijan, for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, and with Verstappen took Hamilton's lead at the leaderboards from the previous race, looks like there's more action between them.
As the race begins, Lewis Hamilton storms into the lead until the Red Bull drivers snagged his lead, first by Sergio Perez, and then Max Verstappen on Lap 20. Come Lap 31, Lance Stroll is involved in a massive accident, triggering a safety car in the process until Lap 36. As the race resumes, Verstappen is out of the race. We all thought Hamilton's got the chance but as the race nears its end, the braking issues caused him to fall from 2nd place to last. Ouch.

In the end, Sergio Perez nailed his first win as a Red Bull driver while Sebastian Vettel's 2nd place finish marks a first podium finish for the new Aston Martin team and Alpha Tauri's Pierre Gasly finished 3rd. Other finishers include Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Fernando Alonso, Yuki Tsunoda, Carlos Sainz, Daniel Ricciardo, and Kimi Raikkonen.
Nothing's changed from the standings between Verstappen and Hamilton but Perez's win pushed Norris out of 3rd place in the leaderboards, 69 vs. 66.
The next race will be the Emirates Grand Prix de France on the 20th of June, 2021.
