George Russell won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix for Mercedes, holding off a late challenge from Red Bull's Max Verstappen in the closing stages of the race.

The race was enlivened by two late safety car periods, which compressed the field and set up a tense finish as Verstappen looked to close the gap to Russell.

Despite the pressure, Russell maintained his position to take the win, denying Verstappen what would have been a dramatic late overtake.

The result adds to the season's competitive narrative between the two drivers and their teams.
