An unsuccessful lunge at Charles Leclerc into Turn 1 on the penultimate lap at Baku left Perez vulnerable to Sainz into Turn 2, ultimately resulting in a collision that took both drivers out of contention. Stewards reviewed the incident and concluded it was a racing incident with neither driver predominantly at fault, leading to no further penalties. Max Verstappen also escaped penalty after being investigated for a potential Virtual Safety Car breach post-race due to an overtaking incident under caution conditions. Verstappen and other drivers were warned about adhering to safety procedures under such circumstances to avoid possible penalties in the future. McLaren was fined €5000 for having personnel and equipment in the pit-lane prematurely after the race, which was deemed potentially unsafe with cars still pitting.
