2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix

The 2025 F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix will take place from September 19-21. Furthermore, it promises to be one of the most anticipated events of the season. The Baku circuit is known for its complexity and unexpected corners, creating the perfect conditions for a spectacular race. In 2025, road racers will compete on a 6-kilometer circuit. It includes both narrow streets of the old city and wide sections along the waterfront. The race attracts experienced riders as well as young talents eager to prove themselves on the world stage.

Importantly, the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix will take place against the backdrop of significant changes to the Formula One regulations. As a result, the outcome of the race could be seriously affected. The new technical regulations introduced a year earlier are focused on improving safety and the competitiveness of the cars, adding intrigue to the fight for the title.

History of the Azerbaijan stage

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix made its debut on the F1 calendar in 2016. Initially it was known as the European Grand Prix, but from 2017 it acquired its current name. The race quickly gained popularity due to its unique circuit, which combines historic and modern elements, and the dramatic events that often occur at this stage.

Over the years, spectators have witnessed many unforgettable moments on the streets of Baku, including crashes, sudden lead changes and unexpected victories. In 2017, for example, Daniel Ricciardo took the victory after starting from tenth position. In 2018, Lewis Hamilton won the race after Sebastian Vettel and Valtteri Bottas retired.
