Max Verstappen loses victory in the final moments of the Azerbaijan race. The Dutchman, like Lance Stroll, suffers a blowout on the straight and does not finish the race.

Disappointment for Verstappen

There were still a few laps to go for Verstappen, but he lost the race due to a blowout. The rear tyre gives way at the fastest point of the track and it's the end of the race for the Dutchman. He climbs out of his car himself and seems unhurt.
It was exactly the same tyre as Stroll's which gave up the ghost earlier in the race.
