The 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix did not disappoint. The field was very close together, with several battles between different teams to win the race, finish on the podium, or to finish inside the points. During the final laps, Carlos Sainz and Sergio Perez were also involved in an enormous crash. After the race, several drivers also had to visit the stewards, including Max Verstappen. Here is how the internet reacted following the race in Baku.
