Bobby Krystal: Vettel lock up cost the Ferrari, not the pitting him behind Bottas. He lost the bigger picture of Hamilton behind him...when he made that move.

Tomtreured: Can we have more of Baku, please?

Craig: Almost fell asleep during the 2016 Azerbaijan GP. I’m gonna need a nap after all the excitement of this years! God damn! Well done Perez and huge commiserations to Bottas.

Stoffel Vandoorne and Brendon Hartley started today 16th and 19th respectively, they end ninth and 10th, both in the points.

What a story for Hartley, who earns his first point of the season. Yesterday he was nearly involved in a terrifying collision with his team-mate Pierre Gasly, today the New Zealander gets a point on the board.

Some great stories in that top 10.

Sauber finish sixth, with Charles Leclerc in the fourth Formula 1 race of his career picking up eight points.

"YES!" screams Charles Leclerc, who finished a stunning sixth. "YES! YES! YES!" he continues, before chucking in a swear word.

"Sorry for the bad word there," he adds.

Sebastian Vettel fourth, Carlos Sainz fifth, Charles Leclerc sixth, Fernando Alonso seventh, Lance Stroll eighth, Stoffel Vandoorne ninth, Brendon Hartley 10th.

"Get in there Lewis," says the Mercedes race engineer. "Well done mate. I think Lady Luck was on our side today."

Before quickly adding: "That was real bad luck for Valtteri, our heart goes out to him."

"Unbelievable guys - we did it once again!" says Perez. "It is not a coincidence that we are always there."

Sergio Perez, for the second time in three seasons in Baku, gets on to the podium. What a way to earn your first points of the season.

Joyous scenes over at Force India with the mechanics bouncing up and down.

Involved in a first-lap prang with Esteban Ocon, Kimi Raikkonen, who started sixth and dropped out of the top 10, gets second.

Mercedes had gone three races without a win, today they win. Lewis Hamilton takes the chequered flag.

Kayleigh: This whole race has been insane! Baku every year please.

Dan Stuchbury: What crazy race this has been

Andrew Priestley: A dull race until all hell broke loose in the last 15 laps! A breathless few minutes at the end.

Can Sebastian Vettel get past Sergio Perez? Nine tenths the gap for third.

Last lap of an incredible race. Lewis Hamilton leads.

Ashley Wilkinson: Oh my goodness. What a race here in Baku. Heartbreaking for Bottas, what a race he’s had. More than an element of fortune for Lewis here but he kept plugging away and he’ll take the Championship lead.

Dennis Ethan: This race has had everything in it.

David Nicholson Hirst: Big Hamilton fan but feel for Bottas, he deserved that win, gutted for him.

Sergio Perez had a five-second penalty from earlier. That could rob him of the third-place finish which he currently holds. But wait, he had come in to serve that penalty during the safety car. As you were.

Third is still on for Perez.

We won't have heard the end of this, you would imagine...

Hamilton, Raikkonen, Perez is the top three with two to go.

Sergio Perez finishing third will be one of the most unlikely podiums in Formula 1.

Valtteri Bottas: "Oh my god. the tyre just blew up on its own."

Sergio Perez takes advantage of Sebastian Vettel's flat spot on his tyre to go third. Perez's last podium was here two years ago. He is third at the moment.
