BAKU :Max Verstappen rode his luck to an unchallenged first Baku win on Sunday, opening up a commanding championship lead after Ferrari's challenge imploded at the Azerbaijan Formula One Grand Prix.
His team mate Carlos Sainz had pulled to the side of the track 10 laps earlier with a hydraulic failure. Leclerc, who has won two races this year but none since the third of the season in Australia, slipped to third, 34 points adrift of his Dutch rival. But he was on the back foot from the off, losing the lead to second-placed starter Perez into the first corner.But an opportunistic pitstop under a virtual safety car period, triggered by Sainz's failure, allowed him to jump back into first until his car's demise eventually dashed his hopes.
