The Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2022 is one month away. On 10 to 12 June, fans will be back in the grandstands at Baku City Circuit for the first time since 2019, with fan zones along the seaside boulevard, autograph sessions and pit lane walks.
Since its debut in 2016, the street circuit has become known for its 2 km straight, where cars have reached up to 366 km/h, and its narrow turns through the UNESCO-protected Old Town. No driver has won twice in Baku: five races have produced five different winners.
Last year a tyre failure put Max Verstappen out three laps from victory, and Lewis Hamilton’s mistake at the restart handed Red Bull’s Sergio Perez a surprise win.
We can’t wait to welcome back crowds to what is set to be a sell-out. It’s wonderful we have had five different winners in five races. Formula 1 fans know this race is unmissable as anything can happen.
Arif Rahimov, Executive Director of Baku City Circuit
