Verstappen goes back-to-back
Verstappen claimed another dominant victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix as championship leader Oscar Piastri crashed.
Piastri, who has made so few errors this season, had a nightmare start in Baku as he jumped the start before locking up and going straight on into the wall at Turn 6, compounding an uncharacteristically poor weekend for the McLaren driver.
With the McLarens out of the picture for victory, Verstappen cruised to a peerless and comfortable second consecutive win - his fourth of the 2025 season.
"This weekend has been incredible for us. Monza was already great but for us to win here is fantastic," the four-time world champion said.
"The car was working really well on both compounds. We had clean air all the time, so you could look after your tyres, and it was pretty straightforward.
"It's never easy around here, very windy today, so the car was moving around a lot. I'm incredibly happy with this performance."
George Russell claimed a strong second place for Mercedes, while Carlos Sainz completed the podium for Williams, converting his superb lap for P2 on the grid into third place at the chequered flag.
Kimi Antonelli took fourth in the other Mercedes, ahead of Liam Lawson, who finished a brilliant fifth for Racing Bulls.
Yuki Tsunoda held off Lando Norris for sixth as the McLaren driver could only gain six points on a day his teammate and title rival crashed out.
Lewis Hamilton finished eighth ahead of Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc, with Isack Hadjar claiming the final point on offer for Racing Bulls in 10th.
