With a 30 points lead over Hamilton for points scored at Baku, Pérez will retain his lead, no matter what happens.
But with the current competitive state of the Red Bulls in tracks with slow corners, the lead could suffer a dent if Hamilton has a good weekend.
If Norris has a good weekend, he could jump a few spots, and Piastri could finally enter into the conversation, as he failed to score a point in 2023.

Nice graph, I didn’t expect that.
Yeah, me neither. I knew PER had a good record there, but best of everyone? Unexpected.
Let’s see what he can do this weekend. It is a good time for the supposed street track specialist to deliver, with 2 of them coming up.
Is the gap between Verstappen and Perez so large because of DNFs?
The Brake Magic race alone is a huge swing between them, as VER was getting 25 and ended up with zero that day.
That magic button mistake in Baku 2021, cost Hamilton a lot.
