Sergio Perez won Sunday’s Azerbaijan GP with teammate Max Verstappen in second to ram home Red Bull’s supremacy over the rest of the Formula One grid. Ferrari’s pole-sitter Charles Leclerc completed the podium, a respectable third.
“Vamos!” exclaimed the Mexican on the team radio after making it a hugely profitable weekend in Baku where he also claimed Saturday’s sprint race. Red Bull boss Christian Horner acknowledged Perez’s “sensational weekend”. He added: “He’s always been outstanding on this track, I don’t know what it is about Azerbaijan, but he absolutely excels here.”
