BAKU, Azerbaijan -- Lewis Hamilton took his first victory of the season at a dramatic and chaotic Azerbaijan Grand Prix after a collision between the Red Bulls resulted in a late Safety Car period and turned the race on its head.
Sebastian Vettel looked set for a comfortable victory for the majority of the race, but the Safety Car changed everything. Bottas, who had yet to pit up until that point, inherited the lead as Vettel and Hamilton, who had pitted earlier and were therefore behind him on track, also took on new tyres for a four-lap dash to the flag.
