Driver standings after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix
Here is the ranking of the drivers after the sixth Grand Prix of the season in Azerbaijan.
The day after the Grand Prix where Sergio Perez triumphed for the second time in his career, the drivers’ ranking is somewhat shaken up.
With his victory, the Mexican regains the third place in the standings, at the expense of Lando Norris. His teammate at Red Bull, who could have had a good day, lost everything a few laps from the end. Luckily for him, his direct competitor for the championship, Lewis Hamilton, also leaves Baku with a zero score after a mistake during the second start. The two drivers remain in 1st and 2nd place with a comfortable lead.
Valterri Bottas, who also leaves Baku without any points, drops two places in the driver standings and finds himself in 6th place.
With their magnificent podium, Pierre Gasly and Sebastian Vettel respectively move up to 8th and 9th place.
Author of a very strong finish, Kimi Räikkönen finishes in a solid 10th place and scores his first point of the season. The Finn becomes the 16th driver of the season to open his tally.
