Mercedes' Andrea Kimi Antonelli continues to lead the championship after the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, though it has been cut down by team-mate George Russell.
Kimi Antonelli came to the Baku race leading the standings by 81 points over George Russell, though he faced an uphill climb to extend this after a crash in qualifying left him 16th on the grid.
Though he came through to finish fifth, Russell fended off Red Bull's Max Verstappen by just 0.1s to win his first grand prix since Austria and reduce his deficit in the standings to 66 points.
