Grand Prix Ferrari Racing Ace Charles LeClerc Crashes in Baku
Two parallel stories unfolded in the fourth Formula 1 Grand Prix race of this season in Baku, Azerbaijan. The first was a remarkable record for the Silver Arrows team of Bottas and Hamilton who with a one two win in Baku completed a season starting quadruple one two for Mercedes. We have seen a triple one two before early in the season. After its three doubles in early 1992, Williams won the constructors’ title and took the top two spots with the drivers but this is the first time that first and second place, in the first four races of the season have been captured by the same team. It is interesting that Mercedes are thriving by letting their own top pair of drivers fight it out this year. Bottas clearly is not prepared to play second fiddle to Hamilton. Bottas had pole and was also the first past the checkered flag.
