The Azerbaijan Grand Prix returns to the F1 calendar after being canceled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, with Baku hosting the sixth round of the 2021 season.
Thanks to his first Monaco Grand Prix victory last time, Red Bulls Max Verstappen is four points ahead of Mercedes-Lewis Hamilton in the event after the reigning world champion experienced his worst weekend of the season in Monaco.
Although Baku is another street circuit, it will offer teams and drivers a very different challenge than Monaco thanks to its combination of tight and winding sectors and the longest straight on the F1 calendar.
