The Azerbaijan Grand Prix is one of the longest and narrowest tracks at just 7.6m wide at its narrowest point between the 7th and 8th turns, which are situated along Icheri Sheher (Inner City). The specially constructed street circuit will see F1 cars race around the stunning downtown area of Baku, incorporating its UNESCO-protected old city – Icheri Sheher historical-architectural reserve – as well as its modern skyline and beautiful Caspian Sea promenade.
This track promises to be very tricky for the drivers who are not used yet to this circuit. Will the Azerbaijan Formula 1 Grand Prix surprise us by allowing a surprise performer or two to shine? With hardly any history about this track, it’s hard to know which driver will take over the Baku Race.
Join us later today for the latest updates and results from the Baku City Circuit, as the qualifying session ahead of the 2018 Azerbaijan Grand Prix is scheduled to take place in Baku, with Scuderia Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen at the wheel of the SF71H, ready to challenge Mercedes and Red Bull for pole position ahead of the race on Sunday.
