F1 statistics: facts and figures for 2023 F1 Azerbaijan GP | Baku Formula 1 stats. Baku Formula 1 stats.

Baku City Circuit is ready to host the Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2023, which will include an exhilarating Sprint race for the very first time.

The Baku City Circuit remains the fastest street track on the Formula One calendar. The maiden Grand Prix was known as the European GP, yet starting with the 2017 F1 championship, the event changed its name to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The Baku street circuit includes a great contrast between the ancient city and its famous mediaeval walls which date back to the twelfth century and the modern part, where the skyline features buildings such as the Heydar Alivey Center. One unusual fact about this venue is is that it is below sea-level.

FEATURES OF THE BAKU F1 TRACK
The Hermann Tilke-designed race circuit wends its way for a good six kilometres and despite the fact that it is a street track, single-seaters are able to reach speeds of 349 km/h when they run down the 2.22 kilometre long main straight. There are also very slow areas around the old walls: turns, 8, 9 and 10 are not much more than 7 metres wide.

As a result, the car set-up requires an ideal compromise between having good top speed and enough aero downforce to gain time in the slow 90 degree turns.
