拉塞尔险胜维斯塔潘夺阿塞拜疆大奖赛冠军 安东内利两度安全车助力从第16位恢复至第5位
乔治·拉塞尔在阿塞拜疆大奖赛中以0.196秒的微弱优势击败马克斯·维斯塔潘，结束了个人F1的冠军荒；领跑积分榜的基米·安东内利从第16位恢复到第5位，部分得益于两次事故引发的安全车。
乔治·拉塞尔在阿塞拜疆大奖赛上终结了长期无缘一级方程式胜利的尴尬纪录，仅以0.196秒的优势击败马克斯·维斯塔潘，而积分榜领跑者安东内利则从第16位回升至第5位，这在一定程度上要归功于两次因撞车而出动的安全车。
拉塞尔做到了在一条带有长直道的街道赛道上领跑者应该做的一切：他起步出色，立即摆脱了一秒超车窗口的束缚，并且在第一次进站时已将领先优势扩大到12秒。
他在比赛早期最令人担心的是，在全场51圈的第25圈于15号弯出口“轻蹭”了护墙，但除此之外他一路顺畅无阻，直到第31圈亚历克斯·阿尔本在4号弯撞车，抹去了他的优势。
这次安全车让拉塞尔的队友安东内利受益最大。
积分榜领跑者安东内利从第16位发车，发车时实际上还丢了一个位置，随后他用了17圈超越七辆赛车，进入了积分区。虽然他的推进速度不如他在蒙扎从第19位发车逆转夺冠时那么快，但他采取了规避风险、更加稳健的策略，很可能是考虑到积分榜领跑者的身份。
他追上了佛朗哥·科拉平托并完成超越，先抹掉了不到四秒的差距拿下第九，随后又因兰多·诺里斯令人失望的比赛继续而获赠第八——这位迈凯伦车手在1号弯因抱死直接冲出了赛道。
安全车出动时，安东内利位居第八，落后拉塞尔35秒，但安全车将全场车阵收拢，给了他更好的推进机会，并让他得以换上更有优势的软胎。
重启时，随着1号弯爆发大规模混战，他立即上升了一个名次。
科拉平托出现了非常严重、近乎滑稽的锁死，撞上了阿尔派的队友加斯利——加斯利在重启时排在第七位——同时还将诺里斯撞出比赛，而利亚姆·劳森也在身后由阿维德·林德布拉德引发的连锁追尾效应中被撞得打转。劳森讽刺地说：“我可真喜欢被自己的队友撞出比赛。”阿尔派在这场混乱中失去了双车积分完的机会，这让加斯利非常不满，科拉平托也为此道歉。
在身后跟着维斯塔潘这一最大压力的情况下，拉塞尔在第39圈的重启中表现得非常出色，但维斯塔潘在之后的整整三圈内仍然保持着可以尝试超车的距离，随后维斯塔潘做出了全场最快圈速，重新逼近——拒绝接受失败。
一直到最后两圈，维斯塔潘都保持在攻击范围之内，不断给拉塞尔施压，直到拉塞尔终于拉开了1.4秒的差距，但在最后一圈，当两人都驶过博塔斯撞车的凯迪拉克所留下的事故现场后，维斯塔潘又重新追了上来，冲向终点线。
但拉塞尔最终还是守住了，这是他自六月底的奥地利大奖赛以来的首场胜利。
“双黄旗之后我就失去了增压，也没有动力了，”拉塞尔在赛后说道。
维斯塔潘在比赛初期从他第八位的发车位一路向前推进，尽管他和他的工程师之间就中性胎有过一些争论，并且早期还受到伊萨克·哈贾尔的猛烈施压，但他还是跑出了一场精彩的比赛，拿下第二名。他在第一次安全车重启后就已经超越了奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里，升至第二。
哈贾尔在因伤缺席三场比赛后，取得了令人惊叹的第三名，他在比赛初期明显速度更快，并且作为一名出色的队友，主动提出留在维斯塔潘身后。
获得第四名的夏尔·勒克莱尔先后被两辆红牛超越，看起来节奏不佳，当天很难登上领奖台；而如果不是皮亚斯特里在第一号弯因抱死轮胎冲出赛道缓冲区、自己退出了争夺，情况本可能更糟，这进一步加剧了迈凯伦令人失望的一天。
安东内利的赛车地板在第一次安全车重启时被奥利·贝尔曼碰到后受损，起初很难超越刘易斯·汉密尔顿，但最终在第二次重启五圈后于1号弯完成超越，此后再无提升，以第五名完赛，又一次上演了逆转表现。
汉密尔顿是前十名中除拉塞尔之外唯一一位以发车位完赛的车手，这或许反映出法拉利的比赛节奏存在问题。
在他身后，由阿尔派引发的事故造成了混乱，使一大批本已无缘积分区的赛车重新加入了争夺。
近日备受关注的埃斯特班·奥孔可能正在失去他在哈斯的车手席位，但他在两次安全车之间超越了队友贝尔曼，不过在最后一圈仅以0.030秒之差被击败——林德布拉德在终点线上抢走了那个位置。他因与劳森的碰撞事故免于处罚，并抓住机会完成了一些超车，在一个艰难的周末中尽力争取，最终获得第七名。
奥孔获得第八名，排在贝尔曼之前，而升级后的威廉姆斯车队则由卡洛斯·塞恩斯拿下了一个积分，他在早期进站后一度排名低至第19位。
霍肯伯格以第11名与积分失之交臂，排在他前面的是劳森、加布里埃尔·博托莱托、皮亚斯特里和塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯。
英文原文
George Russell ended a barren run without a Formula 1 victory in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix by just 0.196s over Max Verstappen, with championship leader Kimi Antonelli recovering to fifth from 16th in part thanks to a pair of safety cars for crashes.
Russell did everything a leader on a street circuit with a long straight on it should do: he got a good start, immediately cleared the one-second overtake window, and had extended his lead to 12 seconds by the time of the first pit stops.
His biggest early cause for concern was "nibbling" the wall at the exit of Turn 15 on lap 25 of 51, but he otherwise ran untroubled until Alex Albon crashing at Turn 4 on lap 31 erased his advantage.
The safety car benefitted Russell's team-mate Kimi Antonelli most.
Championship leader Antonelli started 16th and actually lost a spot at the start, then took 17 laps to pass seven cars and make it to the points-paying positions. While his progress wasn't as rapid as his comeback win at Monza from 19th, it was risk-averse and steadier with the championship lead likely in mind.
He caught and passed Franco Colapinto after erasing a just under four-second gap for ninth and then was gifted eighth when Lando Norris's disappointing race continued as the McLaren driver went straight on with a lock-up at Turn 1.
At the point of the safety car Antonelli was eighth and 35s off Russell, but the safety car bunched the field to give him a better chance of progressing and allowed him to switch to the favoured soft tyre.
He immediately made up a place on the restart as a massive melee broke out at Turn 1.
A massive, near-comical lock-up from Colapinto smashed him into Alpine team-mate Pierre Gasly - who'd been seventh on the restart - and also took Norris out, while Liam Lawson was also spun in the concertina effect behind by Arvid Lindblad. "I love getting taken out by my team-mate," said a sarcastic Lawson, while Alpine lost a double-points finish in the chaos - much to Gasly's displeasure and Colapinto's apologies.
In the highest-pressure scenario of having Verstappen behind, Russell absolutely nailed the restart on lap 39 but Verstappen remained in overtake mode range until three laps later, and then Verstappen set the fastest lap of the race to close back in - refusing to accept defeat.
All the way until two laps to go Verstappen stayed within range and subjected Russell to pressure, until Russell finally built a 1.4s gap, but then Verstappen closed back in on the run to finish line on the final lap once both had cleared the scene of Valtteri Bottas's crashed Cadillac.
But Russell was just able to hold on for his first win since the Austria GP in late-June.
"After the double-yellow I had no boost, had no power," said Russell after the race.
Verstappen charged through the field from his eighth-place starting spot in the early stages, and despite some bickering between himself and his engineer over the mediums, and intense early pressure from Isack Hadjar, drove a fine race to take second. He'd passed Oscar Piastri for second already after the first safety car restart.
Hadjar bagged an amazing result to take third after three races out injured, and was clearly faster in the early stages and played a great team-mate race by offering to stay behind Verstappen.
Fourth-place finisher Charles Leclerc was passed by both the Red Bulls and appeared to struggle for pace, making a podium unlikely on the day, and it could have been worse had Piastri hadn't taken himself out of the battle with a lock-up at the first corner that sent him into the runoff area, compounding McLaren's disappointing day.
Antonelli received damage to his floor after being clipped by Ollie Bearman on the first safety car restart, and initially struggled to clear Lewis Hamilton, but finally got past five laps after the second restart at Turn 1 and went no further, taking fifth in another comeback drive.
Hamilton was the only driver in the top 10 other than Russell to finish where he started, perhaps reflecting Ferrari's race pace struggles.
Behind him, the Alpine-induced crash created chaos and brought a host of cars well out of points contention into play.
In-the-news Esteban Ocon may be losing his Haas seat but vaulted team-mate Bearman between the two safety cars, but then was bested on the last lap by just 0.030s - with Lindblad stealing the spot at the line. He avoided a penalty for the Lawson incident and made some opportunistic overtakes to make the best of a tough weekend with seventh place.
Ocon took eighth ahead of Bearman, while the upgraded Williams bagged a point through Carlos Sainz, who was as low as 19th after his early stop.
Hulkenberg missed out on the point with 11th, ahead of Lawson, Gabriel Bortoleto, Piastri and Sergio Perez.
