Williams took 18 points, while Mercedes did not have a good Sunday in the pitlane of the Baku City Circuit either. Both
Lewis Hamilton's and
Valtteri Bottas' pitstop was not good for a place in the top-ten.
Alfa Romeo Racing did however perform better than usual with second and fifth places.
Hamilton's pit stop was significantly slower after the seven-time World Champion was forced to wait for
Pierre Gasly clear the pit lane.
