Sergio Perez took advantage of Max Verstappen's misfortune to become the first Formula 1 driver ever to become a double race winner at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
The five previous editions of the Baku race had ended with a new name on the top step of the podium each time. But Perez added to his 2021 success on the streets of the Azerbaijani capital with a typically controlled drive.
Charles Leclerc was on pole but lost out to both Verstappen and Perez early on. The Dutchman pitted from the lead for new tyres, while Lewis Hamilton was also among the first to stop for fresh rubber – but both were burned by a safety car when Nyck de Vries stopped on track.
