The 17th stage of Formula 1 will take place in Azerbaijan in September!

The 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix promises to be one of the most exciting events of the Formula 1 season. Historically, the race is held on the city circuit in Baku, which first hosted the championship participants in 2017. Before that, the competition was called the European Grand Prix. The track is characterized by a combination of long straights and narrow winding streets of the old city, which presents a significant challenge for drivers and engineers. Teams will have to find the perfect balance between speed on straights and maneuverability in corners, which will require careful tuning of the cars. The Baku City Circuit is famous for its extreme nature: it is narrow and fast at the same time, provoking drivers to make risky maneuvers. The track runs through the historical center of Baku, skirting the medieval walls of Icheri Sheher. In these conditions, drivers are forced to demonstrate skill in tight corners, where overtaking becomes almost impossible, and the slightest mistake can lead to a collision with the wall. In addition to the exciting racing, the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix will also be a showcase for the latest in automotive innovation.

Six drivers have already won at the track: Nico Rosberg, Daniel Ricciardo, Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas, Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen. However, only Sergio Perez has won here more than once, in 2021 and 2023. He will be in contention for victory at the Baku City Circuit again this year, especially since his contract with the Red Bull team has been extended until the end of the 2026 season.

Sergio Perez is a talented Mexican driver for the Red Bull Racing team. He has previously driven for Sauber, McLaren, Force India and Racing Point. His first Formula 1 victory came at the Sakhir Grand Prix in 2020 after a record 190 starts without a win. In addition, he took his first pole position at the 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after 215 races without a pole position. Over the years, Perez has proven himself to be a reliable driver, capable of bringing points to the team even under adverse circumstances. His strengths include his ability to manage tires and make strategic decisions, which often allowed him to finish high even from unfavorable starting positions. The move to Red Bull Racing in 2021 was an important step in his career, giving him the opportunity to fight for the highest places and support Max Verstappen in the fight for the title.

In addition to the adrenaline of the race, viewers will enjoy a musical show from Anyma, a solo project of Italian electronic music producer Matteo Milleri. Known for his unique performances, Milleri creates multi-sensory shows using cinematic visualizations and melodies. These are not just DJ sets, but carefully thought-out performances to create the maximum effect.
