Lewis Hamilton failed to score points at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after going off track at Turn 1 following the red flag restart, but it looks as though the Mercedes driver was lucky to even finish the race. Both Max Verstappen and Lance Stroll saw their races end early when their left-rear tyres failed at high speeds down the main straight. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff confirmed Hamilton narrowly escaped a similar fate. "We also found a cut on Lewis' left-rear tyre which was caused by debris," Wolff told Sky Sports. Nevertheless Hamilton failed to score points in Sunday's race, finishing down in 15th while teammate Valtteri Bottas didn't fare much better in 12th.
