The Azerbaijan GP returns to the spectacular Baku street circuit with the title race between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel delicately poised. The Scuderia Ferrari German driver has capitalised on Mercedes’ struggles, winning the first two races of the year before a difficult weekend in Shanghai saw him finish eighth and reduce his lead in the F1 World Drivers’ Championship to just nine points.
The Constructors’ race is even tighter with just a point separating leaders Mercedes from Scuderia Ferrari while Red Bull are not too far further back. So who will seize the advantage in Baku before the F1 circus heads to Europe for the summer? Here’s everything you need to know about the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
