FACTS AND STATS: Red Bull take 25th one-two as Perez makes it five street wins in a row

We know Sergio Perez likes street circuits, and the Mexican relished proving it once more in Azerbaijan as he and Red Bull racked up some landmark stats for the team. Here are those, along with a plethora of other fascinating numbers generated by Sunday’s Baku race… Perez is the first driver to win in Azerbaijan more than once. Perez’s fifth Baku podium maintains his record for the most by any driver here. Perez’s last five wins have now all come on street or temporary circuits (Baku 2021 and 2023, Monaco 2022, Singapore 2022 and Jeddah 2023). RACE REPORT: Perez leads Red Bull one-two in dramatic Azerbaijan GP to cut Verstappen’s championship lead Red Bull finished one-two on the weekend of Helmut Marko's 80th birthday. Red Bull's 25th one-two finish in the team’s history today was also the first time they've finished one-two in consecutive years at the same track since Interlagos in Brazil in 2010 and 2011. Perez has led home Max Verstappen in Red Bull's last two one-two finishes, which has never previously occurred. Perez won twice in one weekend, having also won the F1 Sprint on Saturday. No win from pole for Leclerc, but Ferrari's first 2023 podium was some consolation Verstappen's 81st podium finish surpasses Ayrton Senna's career total, on the day before the anniversary of Senna's passing in 1994. Verstappen was on the podium in Baku for only the second time in his career (he won the 2022 race). With third place, Charles Leclerc secured Ferrari's first podium finish of 2023. Leclerc scored 22 points this weekend, having scored just six points in the opening three races combined.

Leclerc became only the fifth different driver to feature on the podium in the opening four races (the others being Perez, Verstappen, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton). Alonso’s P4 result means he has finished in the top four at every race in 2023 for Aston Martin. He missed out on finishing third for the fourth consecutive race by 0.807s. Today was Alonso’s first-ever top-five finish in Baku. The Aston Martin team have never failed to finish in the top six in Baku. Alfa Romeo retired a car for the first time in 2023 After finishing P5 today, Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz is the highest driver in the championship without a podium finish. He lies fifth overall. That P5 today matches Sainz’s best career result in Baku (he finished fifth for Renault in 2018). At Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton’s P6 was his worst result of the season so far. Mercedes finished over 45 seconds behind the race winner, as they did in Bahrain. Lance Stroll, who took P7 in the second Aston Martin, has only failed to score once this year (in Saudi Arabia). HIGHLIGHTS: Watch as Sergio Perez wins the 2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix George Russell finished in P8 for Mercedes and set the fastest lap of the race on the final lap. Russell scored as many points in the Grand Prix as he did in yesterday's Sprint (five) With Lando Norris in P9, McLaren scored points for the second consecutive race. Norris also finished ninth in Baku for the second year in a row. AlphaTauri’s Yuki Tsunoda was P10 – his last five results have been 11th, 11th, 11th, 10th, 10th. After Pierre Gasly came home in P14 and team mate Esteban Ocon P15, Alpine are now point-less in consecutive races, having only failed to score in three races in all of 2022. Zhou Guanyu’s DNF was first Alfa Romeo’s first retirement of 2023 Nyck de Vries’s DNF in the second AlphaTauri was the first retirement of his F1 career. via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

today's Kym Illman's instagram post about Pierre & Charles put back in chronological order with additional information about their careers:

(the second photo has the potential to become a meme; I'd like to know what they were talking about 😂)

2018 - their first full season in F1: Charles with Alfa Romeo, after his F2 World Championship in 2017 with Prema Racing, ahead of Nicholas Latifi (5th), Nyck de Vries (7th) or Alex Albon (10th) and his GP3 series World Championship in 2016 with ART Grand Prix; and Pierre after his GP2 title in 2016, followed by a second place in the Japanese Super Formula Championship, one-half point behind 2017 champion Hiroaki Ishiura, he also raced in FE (New York ePrix) and replaced Daniil Kvyat for 5 GPs at the end of 2017 at Toro Rosso: Malaysia, Japan, Mexico, Brazil and Abu Dhabi.

Charles finished his first season in 13th place in the drivers' championship with 39 points scored (30 points ahead of teammate Marcus Ericsson), and Pierre in 15th place, with 29 points scored (15 points ahead of teammate Brandon Hartley).

-

2019 - both promoted in the top three teams: Charles at Ferrari alongside Sebastian Vettel after a swap with 2007 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen; and Pierre, at Red Bull, after Daniel Ricciardo left for Renault, alongside Grand Prix winner and Red Bull star Max Verstappen. Charles became a Grand Prix winner twice: at the Belgian GP, in honour of his and Pierre dear and beloved friend Anthoine Hubert, and a second time, the following week, at Monza, in front of thousands of Tifozzi - a first for Ferrari since Fernando Alonso in 2010.

I think this photo was taken during Pierre's first (unexpected) podium of 2019, at the Brazilian GP, after he was sent back to Toro Rosso during the summer break, replacing Alex Albon who was thus making his way back to Red Bull, after only half a season.

Charles finished the drivers' championship in 4th position, behind Max Verstappen and Mercedes drivers and ahead of his teammate, with 264 points scored (24 points ahead of teammate Sebastian Vettel) with 2 wins, 7 poles 10 podiums (and 18 times in the points in 21 races). Pierre finished the season in 7th position, with 95 points scored, one podium (Brazil) and 14 points finishes (58 points ahead of teammate Daniil Kvyat* who drove the Toro Rosso all season, unlike Pierre).

2020-21: two Grand-Prix winner - after Pierre's unexpected victory in Monza 2020, one year after Charles, two childhood best friends walking in the paddock, laughing together, but rivals on the track. Charles confirmed at Ferrari in 2020 despite a car that was performing well below expectations, becoming the lead driver in 2021 after veteran 4-time world champion Sebastian Vettel left for Aston Marton, replaced by Carlos Sainz. In 2021, Charles was overtaken in the drivers' championship by his teammate (164.5 points to 159), with both drivers on equal terms. Pierre had a very good season in 2020: the team's second win, at Monza, twelve years after Sebastian Vettel's victory in 2008 on the same circuit. He confirmed his role as leader of Alpha Tauri by achieving the best season in terms of points in the history of the team* (change in point allocation since 2010 & longest season in F1 history), alongside rookie Yuki Tsunoda who learned by his side.

In 2020: Charles finished the drivers' championship in 8th position with 98 points (55 points ahead of his unlucky teammate Sebastian Vettel, 12th) with two podiums (Austria, Great Britain), while Pierre finished in 10th position with 75 points and one win (43 points ahead of his teammate Daniil Kvyat).

In 2021: Charles finished the drivers' championship in 7th position with 159 points (5.5 points behind his teammate Carlos Sainz Jr, 5th) with one podium (Great Britain), Pierre, on the other hand, finished the championship in 9th position with 110 points and one podium (Baku) (78 points ahead of his rookie teammate Yuki Tsunoda).

I’m new to actively following F1. Being a POC from the UK Hamilton has always been my guy but I do love Charles as well considering Ferrari has always been my team. I missed most of what happened last year minus the last race but so I’m not sure what MV and or his team did to Lewis other than get a fraudulent championship win. Would you mind explaining what happened or pointing me in a direction I can find out? I’ve not ever been a fan of MV, he seems far to arrogant and egotistical for my liking but I never paid too much attention to him but reading a bit of what is said I feel like I missed a lot which would confirm my judgement of him?

Hello anon welcome to the circus I guess!!!

So sorry that the last race was your more active experience of f1, truly a low point in this sport.

About your ask, the main issue is redbull top management, so Christian Horner and Helmut Marko. They always had back handed compliment for Lewis and Mercedes, but things got really bad at Silverstone after Lewis and Max crash, Horner was going around the paddock talking about how Lewis wanted to kill Max, leaning way too harder on the big bad scary black man stereotype. This obviously fueled so much hate towards Lewis from rb fans, and most of the comments were filled with slurs, many social platforms had to intervene and start cancelling comments. This kept escalating over the whole season, some mv fans even planned to throw tomatoes at Lewis at Spa. After Silverstone the GPDA issued a statement about how they don't condone the racial abuse Lewis had to suffer after the british gp, i think all drivers (or most of them) reposted it (some add it a little personal note too) but Max stayed silent on the matter, even when the abuse was coming mainly from his fanbase. Then we had J*s Verstappen (max's father) accusing Angela of handing Lewis illicit substances in the paddock when she was passing him a hair elastic, so more racial connotations in their accusations. Helmut also made racially charged comments toward other rb affiliated drivers, he said Yuki Tsunoda was not your typical calm and docile asian and this year when Checo said he was scared because of the missile attacks in Jeddah Helmut said that he shouldn't because being mexican this should be the norm for him. Also at all the races Lewis was the only driver boo-ed (exept in Brazil bless them) especially from rb/max supporters. And after all of this, they had the audacity to say oh it's nice to see Lewis taking the loss of the championship with such grace, like he could afford to look angry. Also Max himself isn't new to using slurs, see with Lance Stroll. But mostly he enables this behaviour from his team and from his fans, which makes him no better than them.

And with this new season, rb top people are going around saying how everything is so respectful between Charles and Max, like last year the toxicity didn't come from their side, but you know Charles is a white guy so
