Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix – How to watch, start time & more
Formula 1 heads to Baku this weekend for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Here's how you can watch the race in your country.
F1's first race in Baku since 2019 promises to be a thriller following a chaotic qualifying session, which saw Ferrari's Charles Lerclerc take pole position from the Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton. Max Verstappen qualified a disappointing third in the lead Red Bull ahead of an impressive Pierre Gasly in the AlphaTauri.
Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas could manage only sixth (after a penalty for Lando Norris) and 10th respectively.
