Mercedes' George Russell won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, holding off Max Verstappen, while Isack Hadjar returned to the podium after a broken wrist. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli finished fifth, narrowing his lead over Russell to 66 points. F1 now heads to Malaysia for the rescheduled Bahrain Grand Prix, postponed due to the Middle East war.
BBC F1 correspondent Andrew Benson addresses fan questions, including whether Christian Horner has a chance at the Ferrari team principal role. Horner told the Times he would consider Ferrari, calling it 'the dream' and 'the sleeping giant of F1', but only if he could have full control. Ferrari's Frederic Vasseur dismissed the speculation, saying Horner 'is looking for a job - that, everybody knows - everywhere', and that the talk disrupts Ferrari's serenity.
However, Horner's desire for sole authority clashes with Ferrari's structure, where chairman John Elkann and CEO Benedetto Vigna hold ultimate power. His Red Bull exit followed allegations of misconduct, internal investigations, and the departures of key figures like Adrian Newey, Jonathan Wheatley, and Will Courtenay. Though Horner led Red Bull to eight drivers' and six constructors' titles, his final 18 months saw decline and turmoil.
Ferrari would likely reject his candidacy due to his need for control, his controversial departure, and the likelihood Elkann and Vigna would never cede F1 oversight.
