Sergio Perez showed his street circuit prowess to get the better of pole-sitter Charles Leclerc and win the Sprint in Baku.
The race pace of the Red Bull proved too much for the Ferrari star to handle as the Mexican moved past with ease. But that was after the main action of the short-form race, which came on the first lap as Max Verstappen and George Russell went toe-to-toe.
Verstappen had started ahead of the Brit, but the Mercedes racer had the better launch off the line and was alongside heading into the first corner. The defending champion resisted and so the battle went on for several corners with neither of them willing to give an inch to the other.
