Azerbaijan F1 GP LIVE: Heartbreak as Oscar Piastri crashes out of race; Flying Verstappen looks untouchable

Max Verstappen is almost in a different universe. The lead has now pushed out to 13 seconds. As Sky Sports commentators note, “Nothing is bothering Verstappen right now.”

WE’ve got George Russell in second and Lando Norris in fourth. However, the British driver has not pitted yet.

This is a massive opportunity for Norris to reduce the 31-point gap between himself and Piastri.

Piastri crashed and therefore comes away with zero points.
