Why Verstappen says 0.196s Baku finish-line gap to Russell is slightly misleading - Sat 26-Sep-26
At the Baku City Circuit, the words Russell spoke after qualifying became reality: the Mercedes driver had already predicted on Friday that, despite starting eighth, Verstappen would pose the biggest threat for victory, and that proved to be the case in a thrilling finale around the streets of Baku.
Verstappen fell just 0.196 seconds short of his first victory of the 2026 Formula 1 season at ...Keep reading

A problem with the internal combustion engine cost Max Verstappen a good starting position for the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
