The first part of Scuderia Ferrari’s necessary equipment for the 2019 Azerbaijan Grand Prix has already arrived at the Baku City Circuit, but for the Formula One drivers it has been a free weekend, which was good news as Easter was celebrated on Sunday.

In an exclusive interview for German newspaper Bild, which took place last week, Scuderia Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel talks about his Easter plans: “I believe in the value of family. I will spend the day with them, as we don’t have a race. A few Easter eggs are hidden, otherwise I have no big Easter traditions or rituals.” – the German driver explained.

Sebastian Vettel will soon join Scuderia Ferrari at the Baku City Circuit, which will host the fourth round of the 2019 Formula One season, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The Baku track is the fastest street circuit on the calendar. 6.003 kilometres in length, it first appeared as the European GP in 2016. As from the following year, it changed its name to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The track features long straights and right-angle turns. That makes engine power a key requirement, while drivers have to brush the walls in search of a quick lap, using every inch of the track. One conundrum is how to keep the brakes and tyres up to temperature, as they cool down more than usual on the long straights. There’s also a tighter section around turns 8,9,10 and 11, including the incredibly narrow section around the ancient castle, where good traction is the main requirement.
