Why Lando Norris failed to capitalise on title rival Oscar Piastri’s crash
- Lando Norris finished seventh at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, failing to significantly capitalise on title rival Oscar Piastri's first-lap crash.
- Oscar Piastri endured a disastrous weekend in Baku, crashing out of the race after jumping the start and stalling, which ended his 34-race finishing streak.
- Norris attributed his performance to a poor qualifying session and his McLaren's lack of pace, stating he felt he maximised his race despite the struggles.
- Norris suffered another slow pit stop and rejoined eighth, where he was eventually able to overtake Charles Leclerc for seventh place.
- Max Verstappen secured a dominant lights-to-flag victory, George Russell achieved second place despite battling illness, while Carlos Sainz delivered Williams' first podium since 2021.
