Watch a dramatic first lap of the Azerbaijan GP in full as the race of Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas took a nosedive within two corners.
After following polesitting team-mate Lewis Hamilton into the first corner, Bottas came under attack from countryman Raikkonen, who started third, with the two Finns colliding for the second time in four races when the Mercedes ran wide over the Turn Two kerb and into the Ferrari.
Bottas's W08 suffered an immediate right-front puncture and the Mercedes dropped like a stone down the order, before pitting for repairs and falling a lap down on the leaders.
Raikkonen dropped to fifth and angrily said over the radio: "It cannot be again the f****** same guy that hit me!", after the two Finns collided at the first corner at Barcelona last month.
With Sebastian Vettel moving up to second, and Sergio Perez to third, see how the opening stages of Sunday's race unfolded in the video above!
