Liam Lawson finishes 12th after collision with teammate in Baku

Racing Bulls teammate Arvid Lindblad hit Liam Lawson during a safety car restart at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, causing the New Zealander to finish 12th. The collision occurred at turn one on lap 35 or 36, when Lindblad's front right tyre clipped Lawson's rear left, damaging the Kiwi's car floor. Race stewards decided not to penalise Lindblad for the incident.

The contact happened as drivers reacted to a multi-car collision involving Franco Colapinto, Pierre Gasly, and Lando Norris. This chaos followed a safety car period triggered by Alex Albon hitting a barrier on lap 31. Lindblad managed to avoid damage and finished seventh, earning six championship points.

Isack Hadjar finished third for Red Bull. Kimi Antonelli recovered from a 16th-place qualifying position to finish fifth.

Where reports differ

• Reports vary on the number of wins Russell has this season, citing three or four, and the points gap between Russell and Antonelli as 15 or 81 points.
