Red Bull teammates Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez have played tug-of-war for supremacy at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in recent years. Pérez won the race in 2021, Verstappen snatched it back in 2022, and Pérez returned to the winner’s circle last season. The pair will duke it out again this week as Formula 1 returns to Baku. Verstappen looks to retain his stranglehold on the top spot in the 2024 drivers’ championship standings. The three-time defending champion has a 62-point lead on Lando Norris with eight races to go. Pérez sits in seventh place.
