In Baku, McLaren turned the 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix into a perfect Sunday, sealing a one-two finish and confirming itself as the strongest team of the weekend. The fast, unforgiving street circuit caught out several rivals through traffic, tyre management and Safety Car periods.
The race rewarded those able to balance pace and composure, with the Woking squad making the right tactical calls at every stage. For the opposition, the Azeri weekend ends with frustration and a clear lesson: beating McLaren will require sharper qualifying and mistake-free strategy.
