Lewis Hamilton: Recovers from pit-lane start

Hamilton finished ninth at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix F1 race at Baku City Circuit on Sunday.

Analysis:

Mercedes had relatively low expectations heading into the weekend, so Hamilton's seventh-place finish in qualifying wasn't all that surprising. He then made an engine change that forced him to start from pit lane, seemingly jeopardizing his chances for points. While he benefitted from the crash that ended the race for both Carlos Sainz Jr. and Sergio Perez, Hamilton still drove an excellent race to get back into the top 10.
