The battle of the championship continues on, as the best of Formula 1 hits the streets of Baku on Sunday for the annual Azerbaijan Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
We are two weeks removed from a controversial event in Italy, as the battle between McLaren Racing teammates Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri took center stage. Piastri, who currently leads the battle for the drivers\u2019 championship, ended up finishing third behind Norris (who lost out to four-time defending world champion Max Verstappen) in a race that saw the team give orders for drivers to flip places. Many wonder who this will affect the fight for the title in the final weeks of the 2025 season. <\/p>\n
