WATCH: Listen to Dutch commentators' heartbreak as Verstappen crashes in Azerbaijan
Max Verstappen's late crash in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix was one of the defining moments of a thrilling race on the streets of Baku last Sunday.
The Red Bull driver was on course for a great victory – and the chance to extend his championship lead over rival Lewis Hamilton – when a tyre blow-out took him out of the race just five laps from the chequered flag.
