Sergio Perez continued his strong form on street circuits with victory in the Azerbaijan sprint.
The Mexican made his move on Charles Leclerc's Ferrari after an early safety car period to secure the full eight points for finishing first.
Leclerc held off Max Verstappen to clinch second, with the Dutchman set back by a robust battle with George Russell's Mercedes on the opening lap.
Lando Norris and Valtteri Bottas failed with their gamble to use soft tyres for the 17-lap event, whilst Yuki Tsunoda was the only driver to hit strife when crashing on Lap 1.
