McLaren was hit by a double whammy in Baku, with title front-runner Oscar Piastri crashing out of the race during the opening lap, followed by pitstop issues for Lando Norris that saw his lead fade away.

Thanks to McLaren's double whammy in Baku, Max Verstappen's comeback continues with his latest win. Mercedes driver George Russell finished 2nd, and by surprise, Carlos Sainz finished 3rd, his best result as a Williams driver. Other finishers include Andrea Kimi Antonelli, Liam Lawson, Yuki Tsunoda, Lando Norris, Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, and Isack Hadjar.

Thanks to Piastri's dramatic crash in Baku, Lando Norris is now closing in on the title race, narrowing the gap between them to an incredibly slim margin. The tension is building, and the stakes have never been higher.

The next race is the Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix this October 5, 2025.
