BAKU: Mexican Sergio Perez won a dramatic Azerbaijan Grand Prix for Red Bull on Sunday after a tyre blowout denied championship-leading team mate Max Verstappen certain victory and Lewis Hamilton failed to score.

He finished 15th.Second place dropped instead into the lap of four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel, a first podium finish for Aston Martin, with Frenchman Pierre Gasly taking third for Red Bull-owned AlphaTauri.The bonus point for fastest lap was not awarded because Verstappen, who set it, did not finish.
"But at the end, it was a fantastic day for us. We were close to retiring the car but luckily we managed to finish the race."
