A victory for Sergio Perez on the streets of Baku reduces Max Verstappen's leading at the top of the Formula 1 Drivers' Championship.
The Red Bull duel looks set to continue after Perez's Azerbaijan GP victory, and the Mexican cuts Verstappen's lead down to six points.
Verstappen had held the fastest lap for a Baku bonus point, but this was taken by George Russell on the final lap.
Fernando Alonso retains his third place in the Drivers' standings with a solid P4 finish, whilst Lewis Hamilton's sixth-place finish keeps him in fourth place in the championship.
Ferrari's Carlos Sainz retains fifth in the championship, whilst teammate Charles Leclerc makes a jump to sixth after his first Grand Prix podium of the season.
