George Russell has a golden opportunity to claim his third victory this season at the 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the tenth round of the 2026 championship, held on the Baku street circuit.
The Mercedes driver, currently second in the drivers’ standings, experienced a slump mid-season, but his resurgence in form after the summer break allows him to approach this race with confidence.
Mercedes’ performance this year still holds surprises, as Russell has only won two races so far despite the potential of his car.
