Azerbaijan Grand Prix Could Become Place for New Formula 1 Records

It was the young Australian’s second win after his triumph at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Piastri showed impressive speed and composure throughout the race, managing the pace well and avoiding mistakes on a treacherous track. Second place went to Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who had a strong qualifying result, while third went to Britain’s George Russell in Mercedes, who capitalised on mistakes from his rivals. Reigning world champion Max Verstappen in Red Bull had a less than successful race, finishing fifth. Lewis Hamilton in Mercedes, who started from the back of the grid, managed to break through to ninth place, demonstrating impressive pace and overtaking skills. The race in Baku was not without its dramatic moments. Red Bull's Sergio Perez and Ferrari's Carlos Sainz Jr., third and fourth respectively, collided late in the race, ending their chances of a podium finish. The top 10 also included Lando Norris (McLaren, 4th), Verstappen (5th), Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin, 6th), Alexander Albon (Williams, 7th), Franco Colapinto (Williams, 8th), Hamilton (9th) and Oliver Berman (Haas, 10th).

Ferrari's Charles Leclerc set the fastest lap time at Baku in 2023, but Red Bull Racing's Sergio Perez has won the most races at the track so far. The Baku Formula 1 track, officially known as the Baku City Circuit, is a thrilling mix of speed and tight corners. It runs right through the historical center of the capital of Azerbaijan. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is a semi-urban, semi-permanent track, created specifically for the Formula 1 Grand Prix. It first hosted the race in 2016, and since then has established itself as one of the most spectacular and unpredictable on the calendar.

Time will tell what the result of the race will be this year, but for now you have a chance to buy tickets for Formula 1 in Azerbaijan and watch it from the stands.
