Verstappen leads Red Bull's one-two in another Ferrari debacle

Leclerc and Sainz abandon due to mechanical problems and Alonso finishes seventh

MADRID, 12 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Dutchman Max Verstappen (Red Bull) won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix this Sunday, the eighth round of the Formula 1 World Championship, in a disastrous day for Ferrari with both Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc leaving due to mechanical problems, while that the Spanish Fernando Alonso (Alpine) has finished seventh.

Before the halfway point of the test on the urban track of Baku, the two cars of the 'Cavallino Prancing' had been left out of the fight due to mechanical problems, a serious blow that allows 'Mad Max' to consolidate the leadership of the general pilots.

The Dutchman, who took command of the event on lap 16 after starting third, led the Red Bull double ahead of Mexican Sergio 'Checo' Pérez, who managed to overtake a Leclerc at the start who again did not smile fortune when he commanded the race.

The Monegasque's engine lasted only 21 laps, forced to retire after Sainz did the same at the start. The Madrilenian kept his fourth place at the start, but he could barely ride ten laps, which took time for the mechanical problems to appear that forced him to stop his Ferrari at the turn 4 escape route. With this, he signed his third zero of the year.
