The final classification for the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix has been announced in an official FIA statement.

Sunday's race in Baku provided drama for championship contenders Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, with the Aussie crashing out on lap one and the Brit only managing a P7 finish.

There are now 25 points separating the pair in the standings, in what could have been a disastrous weekend for Piastri in the championship.

Meanwhile, Max Verstappen produced Red Bull's fourth race victory of the season, while Yuki Tsunoda managed to fend off the likes of Norris and Hamilton for P6.

Verstappen was joined on the podium by George Russell in second, who also suffered a respiratory infection throughout the weekend, and Williams star Carlos Sainz in third.

The Spaniard celebrated as he claimed his first F1 podium with the team, and Williams' first since Lance Stroll at the 2017 Azerbaijan GP and since James Vowles has been in charge.

Here is the final classification from the 2025 Azerbaijan GP as officially confirmed by the FIA with all penalties applied!

2025 rule change removes fastest lap point

Fastest lap points have been banished for 2025. Since 2019, drivers have picked up an extra point if they finish in the top 10 and achieve the fastest lap.

However, it did lead to some drivers abandoning their races to pit and fit a set of new tyres at the end in order to claim the fastest lap point, or to stop a rival from getting the extra point.

The most famous example of this in 2024 came during Daniel Ricciardo's final F1 race, when the Australian finished last but claimed the fastest lap on the final lap of the Singapore GP, taking the extra point away from Lando Norris and helping Max Verstappen's title bid.
