The 17th stage of Formula 1 will be held in Azerbaijan in September

The 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix promises to be an exciting round of Formula 1 racing, traditionally held on the Baku City Circuit. The event was founded in 2017, the year before the race was called the European Grand Prix, but was later renamed. The unique track configuration, combining long straights and narrow, winding sections of the old city, creates a difficult task for drivers and engineers. Teams will be looking to find the optimal balance between speed on the straights and maneuverability in the corners, which will require careful setup of the cars. The Baku City Circuit is considered one of the most extreme. It is both narrow and fast, which provokes drivers to take risks. The track runs through the historical center of Baku, skirting the medieval walls of Icheri Sheher. Here, drivers are forced to maneuver in tight, winding turns, where overtaking is almost impossible, and any mistake can lead to a collision with the wall. In addition to the racing action, the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix will also be a showcase for the latest developments in automotive technology.

Six drivers have won in Baku: Nico Rosberg, Daniel Ricciardo, Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas, Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen. But only one has won here more than once. That is Sergio Perez, who distinguished himself in 2021 and 2021. This year, he will try his luck again at the Baku City Circuit, especially since he signed a new contract with the Red Bull team in 2024, which will keep him with the team until the end of the 2026 campaign.

Sergio Perez is a Mexican racing driver who competes in Formula 1 for Red Bull Racing, having previously competed for Sauber, McLaren, Force India and Racing Point. He won his first Formula 1 Grand Prix at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix, breaking the record for the most starts to win a race - 190. He also took his first Formula 1 pole position at the 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, breaking the record for the most races to win a first pole position - 215. Over the years, he has proven himself to be a consistent and reliable driver, capable of bringing points to his team even in the most difficult conditions. His strengths are his ability to manage tires and make tactical decisions, which has repeatedly allowed him to take high places even from less than ideal starting positions. The move to Red Bull Racing in 2021 was an important step in Perez's career. He got the opportunity to drive for one of the strongest teams in the championship and fight for the highest places. His task is to support Max Verstappen in the fight for the title and bring the team points in the Constructors' Championship.

It is known that the participants and guests of the race will also enjoy performances by top-notch stars. Anyma is an artist who will perform at the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. This is a solo project of Matteo Milleri, an Italian electronic music producer. Milleri is known for his unique approach to creating music, where melodies are intertwined with cinematic visuals, creating an exciting multisensory show. His performances are not just DJ sets, but real performances in which every sound and every visual element are carefully thought out to create the maximum effect.
