BAKU : Formula One championship leader Max Verstappen has unfinished business to take care of at this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix while also looking to reassert himself as Red Bull's lead driver.
Mexican team mate Sergio Perez took the win instead and returns triumphant and as a potential title contender after his victory two weeks ago in Monaco."I’m looking forward to returning to Baku, we have some unfinished business there after last year," said the 24-year-old who has a nine point lead over Ferrari rival Charles Leclerc with Perez a further six behind."It was a very painful one, but that happens. That’s racing... it’s different cars, different tyres and we go again.
The 6km long Baku street track, a mix of flat-out blasts and tight corners lined by unforgiving barriers, is famed for unpredictable races and has produced five different winners in five years on the calendar. The Monegasque and Ferrari, chasing a first title since 2008, will want the weekend to go perfectly after potential wins slipped through their fingers in Monaco and Spain.
