Story of the race: Hamilton, Vettel title fight goes nuclear in Baku

ESPN rounds up the main talking points from a chaotic Azerbaijan Grand Prix which saw Daniel Ricciardo claiming an unlikely victory as Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton clash in a bizarre incident.

Shock: It's hard to think of a more action-packed race in recent history and there were certainly plenty of shocks during the 51 laps in Baku. There were multiple Safety Cars, a Red Flag and at one point the top eight positions were occupied by eight different constructors. But Hamilton's headrest which came loose after the restart is certainly something we rarely see and it ultimately cost him a race victory.
