Red Bull clinches an easy one-two at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix while Ferrari have another Formula 1 race to forget in Baku. The international press jokes about the ‘fragile’ Scuderia, which ‘is a master at scoring own goals’.
The Sun: “For Ferrari, the implosion of the Italian team – after such a strong start to the season in which they produced the fastest car on the line-up – is the talking point. If we’ve learned one thing about Formula 1’s most famous team , it’s knowing how to screw it up really badly. They haven’t won a title since 2008 but they are the undisputed masters at scoring own goals.”
Daily Mail: “Lewis Hamilton says he experienced the most painful race of his career in Baku… but if the bouncing horror of his scrap Mercedes box was at the root of the discomfort, then his 37 years were of little help when he settled on the fourth place.”
