VN AZERBAIJAN, statements after the race: I am happy, but I was close to resigning

Behind us is indeed the Baku crime scene, which unfolded quite unexpectedly. If we could expect Sergio Perez on stage, we can say much less about Pierre Gasly and even less about Sebastian Vettl.

Stage for the winners, on which there is no no Max Verstappen and no Lewis Hamilton. Nor do any of the racers Ferrari. Of course, here we relate to the strong performances of the racing weekend Grand Prix of Azerbaijan all of the above, but apparently the race has v Baku its legality.

Perhaps he described it best the winner of today’s race when he said he was in Baku is usually always chaos. And another point of interest applies to Sebastian Vettlwho race on the streets of the capital Azerbaijan he never finished worse than fourth. He definitely drove today great race, took second place and was selected as the race driver for the second time in a row.

Sergio Perez (COM)Red Bull) - winner

"I am very happy. It’s usually always chaotic here in Baku. Sorry for Max, I have to be the first to say that. He drove a great race and deserved to win. It would be very nice as we could take first and second place. At the end of the day, it’s a beautiful Sunday. We were very close to resigning, but luckily we got to the finish line. At the end of the race, Lewis had good speed. He has been putting pressure since the start of the race. I started badly later, he was already by my side, but I didn't want to mess it up, so I braked later, he did too, but it was different with him. This win is a big boost of confidence for both me and the team."

Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin) - 2nd place

"It means a lot to me to be on the winning podium again. It was a tough start to the racing weekend for us, but we had a good race. We had good speed and that was the key. I made a good start and immediately gained a few spots, then looked after my tires until everyone else turned into the pits. After the stop, I overtook Yuki and the flying start was excellent for me, as I was able to gain two more places, and we also had fresher tires by the end of the race."

Pierre Gasly (AlphaTauri) - 3rd place

"Unbelievable. I do not know what to say. It was a crazy race. These last two rounds were very intense. The race car was fast all weekend. The qualifiers were great, but I didn’t know if I could fight for the podium. And we did that. Before that I finished in first and second place, now I have added a third. But we had to work hard for that result. The race was tough for me and due to an engine problem we were losing quite a bit of speed on the planes. During the race, Seb overtook me and I knew the last laps would be very difficult as Charles was behind me. But I really wanted those podiums and it ended well."
