Azerbaijan Grand Prix circuit
The 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix takes place over 51 laps of the 6.003-kilometre Baku City Circuit on Sunday, September 15.
Baku joined the F1 calendar back in 2016, as the European Grand Prix. It is the fourth-longest circuit on the Formula One calendar after Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Jeddah Street Circuit and Las Vegas Strip Circuit
The inaugural Azerbaijan Grand Prix in 2017 played host to one of the biggest upsets of the season, when Daniel Ricardo stole ahead after Sebastien Vettel was given a 10 second penalty for 'retaliatory contact' with Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes.
The circuit combines a vast straight with tight, twisty corners that wind their way through Baku's medieval city walls. The lack of run off areas means that a puncture or mechanical failure could be fatal.
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix starts at 4 p.m. local time. The weather is typically sunny with a low chance of rain.
