拉塞尔在巴库表现出色，拿下了职业生涯的第一个大满贯（Grand Slam），他取得杆位，从发车到冲线一路领跑并最终夺冠，同时刷出了全场最快圈速。
这一结果让拉塞尔将与梅赛德斯队友安东内利在车手积分榜榜首的差距缩小到66分，还剩八轮比赛，赛季进入收官阶段时仍保留了一些悬念。

无论拉塞尔在赛季剩余的比赛中能否发起挑战，近几个月他与安东内利之间的差距已经开始让人怀疑，这位28岁的车手在与这位意大利车手搭档的情况下，是否还有机会赢得总冠军。
安东内利在巴库有一些情有可原的因素：由于技术故障他错过了相当大一部分练习时间，随后又在排位赛中撞车退赛，导致自己只能从第16位发车。但这是自赛季揭幕战以来，拉塞尔第一次如此明显地胜过他。

拉塞尔近几个月坦率地谈到自己难以理解与安东内利之间的差距，他很大程度上将此归因于2026年F1新赛车带来的不同挑战，但他觉得自己在巴库的表现证明了局面已经扭转。
拉塞尔说：“我想这可能是我职业生涯在F1的第一次大满贯（grand slam，即杆位、夺冠并领跑全程），而且肯定是我职业生涯中最具统治力的一个周末，所以这一切来得正是时候。
“而且能在一条如此考验投入度和自信心的赛道上做到这一点，我真的很自豪，因为我觉得本赛季我本来很容易失去信心。不一定是说对争夺总冠军失去信心，而是对我自己的能力失去信心，但这一切从未发生。
乔治·拉塞尔讲述了他与马克斯·维斯塔潘为阿塞拜疆大奖赛冠军展开的紧张对决。
"我为我和我身边的工程师团队在今年艰难时期所展现出的韧性感到非常自豪，因为我们付出了大量努力去克服一些挑战，让我的驾驶风格更好地适应这辆新车。
"而且F1是如此残酷，你没有机会去练习这些，如今这一切终于比以前更凭直觉地向我走来，我也在积累信心。"
拉塞尔的胜利更加令人印象深刻，因为两次安全车中断让他此前的大幅领先优势化为乌有，他不得不在比赛尾声抵挡红牛车队的维斯塔潘的进攻。
一场扣人心弦的冲线大战之后，拉塞尔最终仅以0.1秒的优势领先维斯塔潘，创造了自2002年以来F1比赛中最小的夺冠差距。
三届W系列赛冠军、天空体育F1评论员杰米·查德威克认为，这样的表现证实了拉塞尔已经提升了自己的水平。
在阿塞拜疆大奖赛的首圈，乔治·拉塞尔守住了领跑位置。
“他确实进步了，”查德威克说。
“积分差距很大，但我认为总冠军争夺仍然是值得期待的，这对我们许多人在本周末开始时来说可能是没想到的。所以这是现在值得期待的事情。”
天空体育F1的卡伦·钱多克对拉塞尔在比赛尾声抵挡住四届世界冠军维斯塔潘的方式印象尤为深刻。
“乔治最后那一节（节段）跑得太棒了，维斯塔潘一直给他施压，”钱多克说。“从某种意义上说，这对乔治来说更有满足感。”
“一种情况是一骑绝尘，领先十秒独自行驶。但在压力之下夺冠，会让他更有成就感。”
如果拉塞尔真的已经找回状态，那这是个很好的时机，因为阿塞拜疆大奖赛是七周内六场比赛中的第一场。
巴林大奖赛将在马来西亚举行，时间是下周末，随后新加坡大奖赛将为本三连赛画上句号。接下来是美国、墨西哥和巴西的背靠背比赛。
天空体育F1的卡伦·钱多克与乔治·拉塞尔一起回顾了他在阿塞拜疆大奖赛上夺得杆位的那一圈。
拉塞尔因更换引擎需要在赛季结束前接受一次发车位处罚，这让他的任务更加艰巨，但只要能在今年剩余的比赛中证明自己的速度可以与安东内利抗衡，对于迈向2027年将是一个巨大的心理助推。
近几个月来很少表现出多少自信的拉塞尔，如今对自己与安东内利之间这场竞争走向的看法表明，他已经找回了状态。
拉塞尔说："我身上的压力比他小得多。""他度过了一个极其完美的赛季。昨天可能是他整个赛季里在正式环节——排位赛、正赛——中的第一次失误，而他今天仍然以第五名完赛。
基米·安东内利在阿塞拜疆大奖赛排位赛中撞上护墙。
"在过去的很多场比赛里，我其实并没有把自己当作这场争夺的参与者，纯粹是因为我的表现不够强。
"而现在我觉得，如果赛季是从今天开始，或者从夏休期之后开始，我非常有信心自己有能力去争斗。
“现在我落后很多。但局面可能很快改变。所以，我并不是在追那个积分差距，我是在追求赢下每一场比赛，结果如何就顺其自然。”

Regardless of whether Russell is able to mount a challenge over the remainder of the season, the gulf between him and Antonelli in recent months had begun to create doubts over the 28-year-old's prospects of ever winning a championship while driving alongside the Italian.
There were extenuating circumstances for Antonelli in Baku as he missed a significant chunk of practice with technical issues before crashing out of qualifying to leave himself 16th on the grid, but this was the first time since the opening weekend of the season that Russell had so clearly outperformed him.
Highlights from the 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Russell has been open in recent months about his difficulty understanding his deficit to Antonelli, which he has largely attributed to the different challenges posed by F1's new cars for 2026, but feels his Baku display was confirmation that a corner has been turned.
Russell said: "I think it's probably my first Grand Slam in Formula 1 and, for sure, the most dominant weekend I've had in my career, so that has come at a really great moment.
"And also to achieve it on a circuit that requires so much commitment and confidence, I'm really proud of because I think it would have been very easy for me to lose the faith this season. Not necessarily about winning the championship, but in terms of my ability, and that never happened.
George Russell describes his tense showdown with Max Verstappen for the Azerbaijan GP win.
"I'm very proud of the resilience that I and my close group of engineers have shown during the tough periods this year because there's been a lot of hard work to overcome some of the challenges, to adapt my driving style to suit this new car better.
"And F1 is so tough, you don't get opportunities to practice this, and finally it's coming to me a bit more intuitively than it once did, and I'm gaining confidence."
Russell's victory was made all the more impressive by the fact he had to fend off Red Bull's Max Verstappen in the closing stages having had a big lead taken away by two Safety Car interruptions.
A thrilling race to the chequered flag saw Russell end up just a tenth of a second clear of Verstappen, creating the smallest margin of victory in an F1 race since 2002.
Three-time W Series champion and Sky Sports F1 pundit Jamie Chadwick believes the performance was confirmation that Russell has raised his level.
George Russell holds onto the lead on the opening lap of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
"He's definitely stepped up," Chadwick said.
"It's a big points gap but I think the championship is still something to be excited about, which for a lot of us coming into this weekend maybe we didn't expect. So that's something to look forward to now."
Sky Sports F1's Karun Chandhok was particularly impressed by the way Russell fended off four-time world champion Verstappen in the closing stages.
"That last stint from George, he had Verstappen piling the pressure on," Chandhok said. "In some ways that's more satisfying for George.
"It's one thing disappearing off, 10 seconds in the lead and driving by yourself. But winning under pressure will give him more satisfaction."
If Russell really has returned to form, it was good time to do so, with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix having been the first of six races in seven weeks.
The Bahrain Grand Prix, taking place in Malaysia, follows next weekend, with the Singapore Grand Prix completing a triple-header. Then come back-to-back races in the United States, Mexico and Brazil.
Sky Sports F1's Karun Chandhok is joined by George Russell to watch back his pole-setting lap for the Azerbaijan GP.
The fact Russell needs to take a grid penalty before the end of the season for changing engine stiffens his task, but just proving that he can match Antonelli for pace over the remainder of the year would be a huge psychological boost going into 2027.
Having rarely spoken with any great confidence in recent months, Russell's view on how he sees the battle between himself and Antonelli going forward suggests he has his mojo back.
"There's much less pressure on me than there is him," Russell said. "He's had an incredibly flawless season. Yesterday was probably his first mistake of this whole season in a proper session, qualifying, race, and he still came home in P5 today.
Kimi Antonelli hits the wall during qualifying at the Azerbaijan GP.
"I didn't really consider myself in this fight for a number of races, purely because my performance wasn't strong enough.
"Now I feel like if the season were to have started today, or since the summer break, I feel very much I would have been able to fight.
"Now I've got this big deficit. It can change quickly. So, I'm not chasing that. I'm chasing to win every race, and what will be, will be."
