Sergio Perez wins Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2023.

Red Bull’s Sergio Perez put together the perfect performance in Baku to claim the race victory at the 2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

* After winning 29th April 2023 Sprint race around the Baku City Circuit, the Mexican driver started well to jump past Charles Leclerc before benefitting from an early safety car which saw him jump teammate Max Verstappen in the process.

* Despite then being put under serious pressure for a few laps by his teammate, Perez pulled away to claim a second race win of the weekend and his second Grand Prix victory in Baku.

* Verstappen came home in P2 with a gap of 17 seconds to Leclerc who finished on the podium for the first time this season. That top three finish will take the pressure off of Ferrari shoulders for now after a poor start to the season.

* Fernando Alonso, Carlos Sainz, Lewis Hamilton, Lance Stroll, George Russell, Lando Norris and Yuki Tsunoda rounded out the top ten in Azerbaijan and all took home valuable World Drivers’ Championship points.
