George Russell won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku on Saturday, holding off Max Verstappen in a race decided by a narrow margin, according to sportschau.de and Kicker. Eurosport reported during its live coverage that Lando Norris was out of the race, while Andrea Kimi Antonelli ran inside the top five.
The result came after a chaotic afternoon in Baku. Bild described overtaking battles involving Verstappen and major crashes during the event. German outlets sportschau.de and Kicker both framed Russell's win as a response to pressure from Verstappen, with Kicker stating that Russell withstood that pressure to take the victory.
Eurosport's live ticker carried the headline "Norris raus! Antonelli in Top fünf," confirming the McLaren driver's retirement and the Mercedes rookie's position near the front. Motorsport-Total.com also ran a live ticker of the race.
Full race details, including final gaps and the cause of Norris's retirement, were not available in the source material.
What to watch next: confirmation of the official classification and any post-race penalties from the stewards.
