Verstappen then pitted for hards, dropping into second well behind Leclerc. Ricciardo was running seventh, behind yet-to-pit Norris and Fernando Alonso, but ahead of Pierre Gasly and others. The virtual safety car was deployed. A lock-up for Leclerc also hurt him.

Lap 5: Verstappen is getting closer and closer to Leclerc every lap with DRS whilst Carlos Sainz in P4 continues to fall further away from the Dutch driver as a result. 45 mins to lights out: Ferrari's Charles Leclerc provided the entertainment for fans yesterday as he put his car P1 for today's race. RACE START: And we're off in Baku! It's an amazing start from Perez as he snatches the lead away from Leclerc into the first corner. Quite a few are wearing their cooling vests as Baku swelters in the sun. Lap 15: VERSTAPPEN LEADS! The Dutch driver puts in a mega lap and makes up over a second on his team mate. There's a huge flurry of action in the pit stop now as most cars come in. Lap 13: Vettel is now off the track as he looks to overtake Alonso down the back straight. Lap 21: LECLERC IS OUT! As the Ferrari man comes down the straight his engine goes up in smoke. Lap 39: It's a rarely seen black and orange flag for Tsunoda as the DRS on his rear wing appears to snap in half under pressure. Lap 32: Hamilton is on the team radio complaining of severe back pain as his Mercedes porpoises continually down the two long straights. It was a strange decision at the time from AlphaTauri to not pit Gasly during that second virtual safety car and it's proved the French drivers downfall in the battle for fourth spot here. Lap 43: So out front, Verstappen is in commanding control of this race with less than ten laps to go.

He had tried to pass Esteban Ocon’s Alpine at Turn 3 early on but overshot the corner and had to spin turn, dropping to 12th. Verstappen, Perez, Russell and Hamilton stopped again, with Gasly and Tsunoda staying out, the latter gaining a spot from Hamilton. Perez pitted for fresh hards on lap 17 but also suffered a slow stop and rejoined in third, just ahead of Russell. Verstappen stopped on lap 19, meaning a nine-lap fresher tyres advantage over Leclerc as he rejoined 13s behind him. Perez extended a 2s lead by the time DRS was activated, while Verstappen began to pressure Leclerc for second on lap five. Sainz then pulled off at Turn 4 with a hydraulic failure on lap nine, causing a virtual safety car that Leclerc, Russell, Hamilton, Vettel and Yuki Tsunoda (AlphaTauri) decided to pit under.

After a long, exhausting dry spell of exactly one race, Max Verstappen is back to his winning ways. Verstappen earned his fifth win of the 2022 Formula One.
He's on pace to finish outside the top five in points for the first time ever. This is the longest he's gone without a victory in a season since 2013—his first win in that campaign came in the 10th race of the year. Both Ferrari cars suffered power issues in Sunday's race, with Carlos Sainz not even making it 10 laps into the race when his car failed.
