Piastri Wins Azerbaijan GP, McLaren Resurgent

Oscar Piastri secured his second career win at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, overtaking Ferrari's Charles Leclerc on lap 20 and maintaining his lead despite intense pressure. This victory, combined with Lando Norris's fourth-place finish, allowed McLaren to surpass Red Bull in the constructors' championship standings. The race was marked by a dramatic collision between Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz, which led to a virtual safety car finish and elevated George Russell to third place. McLaren's strategic teamwork, particularly Norris's efforts to delay Perez, was pivotal in Piastri's success. The triumph marks McLaren's first lead in the constructors' championship in a decade, showcasing their significant resurgence this season.
