00:00Five lights on ahead of the drivers, it's lights out, and away we go,
00:04Leclerc gets away well, ahead of Hamilton and Verstappen,
00:07and then you've got Sainz and Gasly scrapping away behind them,
00:10but it's Charles Leclerc with a clear lead going through Turn 1,
00:13he's got the start, he's got the pole, and he's gone away from Lewis Hamilton,
00:17and they're looking up, Sainz, Gasly ahead, Sergio Perez making up places as well,
00:22the two McLarens getting bogged down in the midfield, and the charge is on now,
00:25down towards Turn 3, Charles Leclerc leads the Azerbaijan Grand Prix from Hamilton,
00:31and then comes Verstappen and Sergio Perez ahead of Gasly, but only just,
00:34the two going through into Turn 3, separated by inches and making it.
00:40The Ferrari of Charles Leclerc has Lewis Hamilton right behind him,
00:43and Leclerc has been leading throughout this race, but not for long,
00:46because Hamilton's got the toe, he's got the slipstream, he doesn't need DRS,
00:50and he makes the pass to take the lead of this race,
00:53Leclerc's going to try and fight him back, going into Turn 1,
00:55but it's Hamilton now ahead of Leclerc with Verstappen in third.
00:59We're watching Yuki Tsunoda in eighth as well,
01:01and we're watching Charles Leclerc under massive pressure from Max Verstappen,
01:05he's had to wait a few laps to get past the Ferrari,
01:07it's happened now at the beginning of lap seven,
01:10Hamilton leads, Verstappen is now second and chasing after the Mercedes,
01:14Leclerc down to third, and there's Yuki Tsunoda,
01:17is he going to get past Fernando Alonso going into Turn 1?
01:20Do you know what? Yes, he is!
01:23Look at Sergio Perez, straight there for protection,
01:25this is exactly what Red Bull need, isn't it?
01:27Up to third place, what a drive so far.
01:29In the space of a single lap, Charles Leclerc is now out of the podium at places.
01:35What's happened in sector two? We've got a yellow flag.
01:37That will attract the attention of the strategy engineers on the pit wall,
01:41and it is a Ferrari of Carlos Sainz, who's gone off into the runoff area,
01:46Hamilton comes in, Verstappen and Perez stay out.
01:50Hamilton, it's a slow stop again, but he had to wait for the other car
01:54that was coming down the pit lane. We've not seen drivers have problems here,
01:59but on the hard tyre, he locks up and has to bail out.
02:02Ah, sorry guys!
02:04And he's boxing. Ted, down to you.
02:06Yeah, I can see it. Just a couple of garages down, let's have a look.
02:09Yeah, going well so far. That's not the 1.8 I've seen, but what was it?
02:14About the two second mark. Very, very solid. White tyres on hard tyres.
02:16White tyres on hard tyres.
02:17I'll tell you what Ted, Max Verstappen is away and he is going to be ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
02:22That's the crucial thing here. Hamilton's slow stop has cost him track position
02:26after the pit stop to Max Verstappen.
02:29Hard compound tyre. For Sergio Perez there was a problem at the rear.
02:33We'll get Ted Kravitz thoughts on that in a moment. 4.3 second stop for Perez.
02:38That's undone all his good work as you see Max Verstappen going into turn one.
02:43Where's Hamilton now? Coming through turn one. Sergio Perez comes out in second place.
02:49Still ahead of Lewis Hamilton. Verstappen is ahead. Sergio Perez behind his teammate.
02:54Hamilton behind now both Red Bulls. Oh no! And that is an accident and it is Lance Stroll.
03:01And Lance Stroll, who might well have been coming into the pits,
03:04has left a huge amount of debris on the track.
03:07He's moving around in the cockpit. That's great to see what happened to Lance Stroll.
03:14And yeah, absolutely no chance of avoiding the accidents.
03:19I said potentially coming into the pits. Oh, that is a, that's an impact, isn't it?
03:25We are going to get racing here in Baku and now Verstappen's gone.
03:29And Lewis Hamilton has got a really nice toe behind Sergio Perez. Pierre Gasly locks up.
03:35Charles Leclerc could get interested here. Sebastian Vettel down the inside of Charles Leclerc.
03:39Gets past the Ferrari. Sergio Perez is under pressure from Lewis Hamilton.
03:43There's a huge lock up by Charles Leclerc.
03:46He almost goes into the back of Sebastian Vettel.
03:48Somehow the Aston Martin doesn't make contact.
03:51Now Sebastian Vettel's looking to have a go up here.
03:54Gasly as well as Hamilton is trying to make a move on Sergio Perez.
03:58Perez goes through second.
03:59Gasly goes ahead, stays ahead I should say, of Sebastian Vettel.
04:03High drama at the restart there and Charles Leclerc very nearly coming a cropper.
04:10Sebastian Vettel getting a nice one off Pierre Gasly.
04:12He's going to get it done.
04:13He's got the toe.
04:14He's got the fresher tyres.
04:15He's got the pace.
04:16Sebastian Vettel has got fourth place here in Baku.
04:19He loves this track.
04:20Started in the top four in every season that he's come to Baku before.
04:24He's finished third.
04:25He's finished fourth.
04:26He's finished fourth.
04:26He's finished second.
04:27And guess what?
04:28In 2021, he's fourth again.
04:30It can go right down to the checkered flag.
04:34And look at...
04:35Oh, and that's Max Verstappen.
04:37Max Verstappen on the main straight.
04:40Leading this race.
04:41Now out of this race.
04:42Sergio Perez leads from Lewis Hamilton.
04:51That is a 200 mile an hour crash for Max Verstappen.
04:55And that is also Red Bull's first one-two in many a long year taken out of them as well.
05:03And the red flag has now come out.
05:05The race is now going to stop.
05:08Brakes smoking on Lewis Hamilton's car.
05:12Perez on pole.
05:13Hamilton alongside him on the front row.
05:14Perez gets away well.
05:16Hamilton will wheel spin.
05:17Sebastian Vettel is coming at them as well.
05:19Perez tries to cut off Hamilton who locks up and goes straight on.
05:22Perez leads from Sebastian Vettel.
05:24And then comes Pierre Gasly and Charles Leclerc.
05:27And Hamilton has gone from second in the race to falling out of the points.
05:32As they tiptoe their way around turn two.
05:35We lost the championship leader with a crash.
05:38We lost his main rival with a lockup at the restart.
05:41This has not been a good day for the top two in the championship.
05:45Under pressure now Pierre Gasly's got Charles Leclerc right behind him.
05:49Looks like Charles Leclerc is ahead of Pierre Gasly.
05:52Leclerc goes back up into the podium places.
05:55He started on pole.
05:56He may yet finish on the podium.
05:58Gasly's going to come back at him again though.
06:00The Alpha Terry goes a bit deep and gets past Charles Leclerc.
06:04Out in front Perez from Vettel.
06:06This scrap's still going on behind them.
06:08Lando Norris waiting to pick up the scraps here.
06:11But Lewis Hamilton, 54 points scoring finishes in a row.
06:15And he fails to score points today.
06:17As down the inside goes Gasly.
06:19Stays ahead of Leclerc for one brief moment.
06:22Lando Norris thought he had a chance.
06:24Gasly cuts him off aggressively going through turn four.
06:29Sergio Perez moved teams over the winter.
06:32Went to Red Bull in his sixth race for his new team.
06:36Sergio Perez wins the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
06:39Sebastian Vettel moved teams.
06:41He picks up his first podium for Aston Martin.
06:44And their first podium in Formula One.
06:47Pierre Gasly's back on the podium too.
06:50For Alpha Terry as he comes home third.
06:53What a Baku race it was.
06:55What an Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
06:57Perez picks up the points.
06:59Verstappen and Hamilton, the championship contenders.
