'There’s much less pressure on me than there is him' – Russell on title fight

George Russell won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku, his third Grand Prix victory of the 2025 Formula 1 season, cutting teammate Kimi Antonelli's Drivers' Championship lead from 81 points to 66 points. Antonelli, who had won back-to-back races at Monza and Madrid, crashed in Q1 and could only qualify 16th, ultimately finishing fifth. Russell took pole by the season's largest margin and declared he feels less pressure than championship leader Antonelli heading into the remainder of the campaign.
