Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc of Monaco hits the barrier during the sprint shootout event at the Baku circuit in Baku, Azerbaijan, Saturday, April 29, 2023. The Formula One Grand Prix will be held on Sunday April 30, 2023. (AP Photo/Sergei …BAKU, Azerbaijan – Sergio Pérez won the Formula One sprint race in Azerbaijan on Saturday to extend Red Bull’s winning start to the season, as his teammate Max Verstappen settled for third in a damaged car behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
Leclerc held on to second as Verstappen closed in on the final lap to give Ferrari its first podium finish of 2023 following a dismal start to the season. The Red Bull team told Verstappen over the radio he had damage to the car’s floor following contact with Russell early in the race. Verstappen lost third place in the incident, but recovered it easily at a safety car restart.
The safety car was called out because Yuki Tsunoda slid into the wall, leaving behind a tire and debris from his AlphaTauri.
