#3 Red Bull
Max Verstappen – 4th
Max Verstappen will be relieved to put last year’s race in Baku behind him after finishing 4th on Sunday. Many of us still remember his clash with ex-team mate Daniel Ricciardo on the straight in last year’s race. No DNF for the Dutchman this year.
Again Verstappen secures a strong finish as the Red Bull man is consistently finishing either on the podium or just outside the top three in 4th place.
With the rivalry of Mercedes and Ferrari at the top, many are wondering if Verstappen and Red Bull can even achieve a race win this year. Plenty of opportunities yet for Christian Horner’s group.
Driver rating – 6/10
Pierre Gasly – DNF
Life at Red Bull has been a tough one so far for Pierre Gasly after the Frenchman had to accept a DNF in Sunday’s race.
Gasly is slowly adjusting to life at Red Bull while his team mate, Max Verstappen, is consistently fighting at the top.
A driveshaft problem haunted Gasly on lap 38 as he was looking to add some points towards Verstappen’s 4th place finish.
