BAKU - Valtteri Bottas won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday to retake the Formula One world championship lead from team mate Lewis Hamilton after a stunning fourth successive one-two finish for Mercedes.
“It was actually a tough race,” said Bottas, who went side-by-side with Hamilton on the opening lap and showed plenty of grit and determination in fending off the Briton to hold position. The win around the streets of the capital Baku was the fifth of Bottas’ career and he became the first driver this season to win from pole.
Mercedes also became the first two-car team in Formula One’s 70-year history to open a season with four straight one-twos.The Monegasque, the pole-position favourite who crashed in qualifying but still started eighth, led the race at one point after staying out longer than rivals who pitted to change their softer tyres.
The points were Sainz’s first of the campaign and helped lift McLaren to fourth overall in the constructors’ standings. The main surprise of the day was the lack of upsets, with no safety car on track and no major crashes on the unforgiving streets that have given the race a reputation for unpredictability and chaos.
