Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2021- Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track

Crafted by the Tilke Company, the Baku City Circuit is the second-longest circuit registered in the list of F1 racing venues. The circuit is in the lowest-lying capital city, surrounded by water bodies. This makes the circuit extremely adventurous for racing and spectating.

The land of fire, Azerbaijan, was ready to stage the fourth F1 weekend race in their capital city this year. However, the global health situation ruined the entire F1 calendar for the 2020- season.

The hype to witness the F1 weekend in the Baku City Circuit was undoubtedly high. Fans will be anticipating the absolutely power-packed racing weekend that will soon happen in the 2021 season. The race will take place between 4 June and 6 June.
