Lap 21/51
What a move from Oscar Piastri. Charles Leclerc had no reply to the Australian's attack. The gap between the pair is sixth tenths, with Sergio Perez also in the fight in the Red Bull.

Piastri was a long way back when he went for it under braking, my goodness I'm amazed he got through the corner.

Jeremiah Kariuki: Albon and Williams are doing something that Mercedes despite their power are not able to do.
Lap 20/51
Oscar Piastri is now leading this Azerbaijan Grand Prix! The Australian is gaining on the straight and lunges on inside of the Ferrari to steal his P1 position. The Monegasque hasn't got an answer to the McLaren and has to settle for second spot.

Perez has always been comfortable around this circuit, he's got a really strong record, and at the moment it looks like the best position Red Bull might have of attacking the leaders. That's not beyond the realms of possibility.
Lap 19/51
Because the massive straight is the ideal location for Sergio Perez, on his fresher tyres, to blast past the Williams of Alex Albon for third place. The Mexican has also just clocked the fastest lap.
So, Charles Leclerc leads, Oscar Piastri is second. Perez is third, Albon is in fourth and Lando Norris is fifth.

Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
This is great stuff from Albon, this is genuine pace. This is the Williams that has been very very strong at this circuit all weekend.
Lap 18/51
The Ferrari of Carlos Sainz peels off to the pits to make his first stop, lifting team-mate Charles Leclerc back into the lead and Oscar Piastri into second place, where he started this race.
Alex Albon stays out and while he has Sergio Perez in his mirrors, the Red Bull hasn't made his way through yet.
I say yet...

Nulla Pax: It's "Team Racing". I have no problems with the drivers helping each other like Lando just did.
Lap 17/51
Ferrari call in Charles Leclerc and the race leader bins his mediums for hards and is back out in second place. Team-mate Carlos Sainz takes over the lead , with Alex Albon who hasn't pitted, in third spot.
Marc Priestley
Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
All the talk this week is how can Piastri help Norris in the Championship fight and today it's the other way round. It's Norris who has helped Piastri by just holding Perez back by just a few corners and it's allowed Piastri to get out in front.
Lap 16/51
Lando Norris has done his job. The Briton just keeps Sergio Perez at bay enough for Oscar Piastri to come out on his hard tyres ahead of Sergio Perez.

Lap 15/51
So, Sergio Perez has actually pitted and is now sixth, while Oscar Piastri stayed out, putting him behind the McLaren of Land Norris in fifth and under pressure. The Red Bull is looking to put pressure on the Briton an the team are asking Norris if he can help out his team-mate.
Andrew Benson
BBC F1 correspondent
What Norris wants is to keep Carlos Sainz between Perez and Verstappen because if the Red Bulls are running together, they will swap them round to get Verstappen some more points.
Lap 14/51
The shakedown of pit stops means Alex Albon in the Williams moves up to fourth and Lando Norris has shifted his McLaren to fifth place.
The top three is Charles Leclerc, Oscar Piastri and Carlos Sainz.

sam: What is the point of the Azerbaijan GP? Awful track, awful racing, I hope it and Miami are first to go for real tracks some day.
Lap 13/51
The medium tyres are starting to be exchanged now and Max Verstappen is the latest driver to come in for some hard rubber instead. The Dutchman is now 10th, while Lewis Hamilton's pit stop for the hards sees the seven-time world champion come back out in P18.
Marc Priestley
Former F1 mechanic on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
Lewis Hamilton on the medium tyre is potentially a strange one given he started from the pit-lane, you might have expected him to go onto the hard tyre like some of the others towards the back.
