George Russell won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku, edging out Max Verstappen to claim his eighth career Formula 1 victory and his first since the Austrian Grand Prix in June, according to Al Jazeera.
The result marks a significant moment in Russell's season, breaking a winless streak that stretched back several months. Verstappen finished as runner-up after a competitive battle over the course of the race.
Kimi Antonelli rounded out the top five, adding to a solid points haul for his team in the Baku street circuit event, known for its demanding layout and frequent safety car periods.
The result has implications for the championship standings as the F1 season heads into its remaining rounds.
