Lewis Hamilton wins chaotic Grand Prix at Baku as Red Bulls crashed each other.

Lewis Hamilton claimed a fortunate 63rd career win and control of the Drivers’ Championship standings at the end of a chaotic and incident-packed Azerbaijan Grand Prix that saw pole seater and long-time race leader Sebastian Vettel drop to fourth after a collision between the Red Bull drivers and Valtteri Bottas exit the race from the lead with a late puncture.

Kimi Räikkönen was left to take second place behind Hamilton, with Force India’s Sergio Perez taking a second career podium finish in Baku thanks to a late pass on Vettel.

Charles Leclerc claimed his first points in Formula One for Sauber-Alfa Romeo by finishing sixth, as did Brendon Hartley for Toro Rosso-Honda in tenth.
