Lewis Hamilton was handed victory in a madcap finish to a chaotic, incident-strewn Azerbaijan Grand Prix during which both Red Bulls sensationally collided with each other.
Hamilton’s team-mate Valtteri Bottas was on course to win after Mercedes took advantage of a late safety car to jump long-time leader Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari.
But, after Vettel had thrown away second place with a mistake at the restart, Bottas suffered a puncture on the next lap.
His two rivals out of the way, Hamilton was given victory and the championship lead on a plate after looking set to finish third.
The late safety car had been triggered by a crash between the two Red Bulls, when Daniel Ricciardo slammed into the back of team-mate Max Verstappen while trying to pass into the first corner.
