The Race on the Caspian Sea
Experience the heartbeat of motorsport up close
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix™ at the Baku City Circuit is one of the most spectacular and unpredictable races in Formula 1®. This ultra-modern street circuit combines one of the longest straights on the calendar with some of its narrowest sections, creating a unique challenge where speeds of over 300 km/h meet millimetre-perfect precision between barriers and historic city walls.
The constant transition between high-speed sections and tight corners demands total concentration and complete confidence in the car. Mistakes are common, Safety Car periods are often a factor, and that unpredictability is exactly what makes Baku so exciting. As Formula 1® cars race through the streets of the Old City before reaching incredible speeds along the waterfront straight, the circuit creates a fascinating balance between chaos and control. The Azerbaijan Grand Prix™ is dramatic, nerve-racking and full of unexpected twists.
