Nyck de Vries played an important role in the structure of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, but not for the reasons he would have wished for.
His clipping of the Turn 5 barriers on the 10th lap of the race, which broke the AlphaTauri’s track rod (forcing him to a halt on the Turn 6 run-off) created a Safety Car, which effectively switched around the Red Bulls, losing Max Verstappen the lead and handing it to Sergio Perez.
