Valtteri Bottas has won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku finishing ahead of team-mate Lewis Hamilton. The Finn led from pole after a tense opening lap battle with the reigning world champion and kept his Mercedes colleague at an arm’s distance as he stormed to his fifth career victory.
Sebastian Vettel came home in third, followed by Max Verstappen in fourth and Charles Leclerc in fifth. Charles Leclerc, having started eighth on the grid after his crash in qualifying, surged through the field and took the lead when both Mercedes came into the pits.
The Monegasque waited until Lap 35 to come into the pits for his first stop but by then, it seemed too late for the youngster to do anything to slow down Bottas and Hamilton.
