Ten of the best pictures which tell the story of the 2019 Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend.
Daniel Ricciardo
Renault ran their car so low on downforce on Friday that Daniel Ricciardo trashed two sets of tyres trying to get it stopped.
Sebastian Vettel
Ferrari looked on it in practice, though Sebastian Vettel was out-paced by his team mate, who headed all three sessions.
Sergio Perez
Baku track master Sergio Perez did the business as usual – he was ‘best of the rest’ in qualifying and the race, bagging sixth for Racing Point.
Alexander Albon
Alexander Albon avoided a repeat of his China crash but also didn’t manage to score any points.
Kimi Raikkonen
After qualifying Kimi Raikkonen was unhappy the poor track position on his final lap meant he was far off his potential pace. He was even less happy when he was ordered to start from the pit lane when his front wing was found to be illegal.
Sebastian Vettel
Vettel was outfoced by the Mercedes pair in qualifying, who let him by at the pit lane exit so he couldn’t benefit from their slipstream.
Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton
The Mercedes drivers gave each other racing room at the start, which helped pole sitter Valtteri Bottas keep his lead.

Daniel Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat
In the race’s most bizarre moment, Ricciardo reversed into the innocent Daniil Kvyat, who had just been bundled up an escape road by the Renault driver.
Valtteri Bottas
Bottas clinched his second win of the season – and a one-point championship lead.

The first image looked like another Renault engine going up in smoke. This time it was only the tires ;)
