All the stories that got the Baku paddock talking

Championship leader Kimi Antonelli understandably refused to get carried away when talking about his title hopes on Wednesday in Baku, despite the Italian being on a rampant run of form that has seen him win eight races in 14 weekends...

"It's not over until it's over," said the Italian, who leads Mercedes team mate George Russell by 81 points with nine Grand Prix weekends remaining. "Until you cross that finish line it's not over. It's like tennis, one point at a time, here one race at a time.

"Keep giving your best and keep trying to raise that bar, keep delivering results and see where we end up at the end of the year. As we're getting closer, I've thought about the championship and stuff, but by thinking about it I always came to the final conclusion that I need to keep driving like I am and delivering the results.
