Max Verstappen suffered an accident while leading the Azerbaijan GP . The Dutch driver had a puncture on the left rear wheel with five laps to go and crashed into the crash bars on the finish straight at 300 km / h. Luckily, the pilot was unharmed and was able to leave on his own accord. However, the Red Bull's anger was evident because he had the victory in his pocket.
Verstappen has been leading the race for most of the grand prix after beating Hamilton at the first stop. Since then he has been the leader and everything indicated that he was going to get the second consecutive victory after winning in Monaco a few weeks ago. This accident has put an end to his participation in Baku and he sees 25 points that he practically already had tied up disappear.
