Azerbaijan: the TV program
Having become a key event on the Formula 1 calendar, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix marks the return of European timings.
If some were wondering why Formula 1 should make a stop in Azerbaijan, the last two editions have already proven that the Baku track has earned its place in the discipline’s calendar.
Within the walls of the medieval city, the drivers have already delivered memorable battles and eventful races, with their share of overtakes and collisions.
If the first part of the circuit is very winding, even very narrow, the last sector gives the engine the spotlight with the longest straight of the season, measuring 2,220 meters, between the 20th turn, the last of the lap, and the first. With slightly more power than the competition, Ferrari could take advantage of this feature to secure its first victory of the season. But in Baku, nothing goes as planned…
