The streets of Baku, Azerbaijan are the next stop for the F1 2024 with the Qatar Airways Azerbaijan Grand Prix as part of this month's street-racing double-header. In this race, Ollie Bearman returns to fill in Kevin Magnussen's seat as Magnussen is serving a one-race ban following his incident in Monza.
Max Verstappen is still in the lead, but Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc are closing in. The title fight is now too close to call.
As the lights went off, the action in Baku was on. Charles Leclerc holds off Oscar Piastri for the lead and both Red Bull drivers gaining positions. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton made a milestone in Baku as he raced 100,000 kilometers across his career. As the current season leader Verstappen is struggling, the race's midway point became a clash between Piastri, Leclerc, and Sergio Perez. As Piastri maintains his lead as the climax draws near, the clash between Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz on Lap 50 ended in a horrific collision, triggering a safety car as the final lap approached.
