The (different) schedules of the 2022 F1 Azerbaijan GP in Baku

This weekend, on the second of June, Formula 1 travels to Baku to contest the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the eighth round of the 2022 season, which has European schedules except for one major change, that of the race time.

We remember that Formula 1 this season compresses the format of its weekends, moving the drivers’ press session to Friday morning, so that there are only three days. Aim well and tell your friends that the Baku 2022 race is at 1:00 p.m., that someone will get lost.

How to watch the 2022 F1 Azerbaijan GP and how much is it worth

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix, like the rest of the 2022 F1 season (with the exception of the Spanish GP, which Mediaset gave openly), can only be seen in Spain by paying, having DAZN F1 contracted and watching it either through the platform or by Movistar +.

The price of DAZN this year, not only for F1 and MotoGP, but for a multitude of sports, is 12.99 euros per month or 129.99 per year, always with no commitment to stay.

In addition, on our website Motorsport.com we will have several journalists at the circuit, so we can provide you with the best information directly, without plagiarism and original, as well as telling you live about the free practice, qualifying and F1 race in Baku.

The Baku street circuit, designed (of course) by Hermann Tilke , is not a typical street track, and in fact always leaves exciting races combining the proximity of the walls with long straights.

There is an area with many narrow curves, that of the old part of the city of Baku (the castle always leaves great images), and another part where extremely high speeds are reached.

Baku came to F1 in 2016, and its first race was called the European GP, and then, from 2017 to 2021 (in 2020 there was no race there) it was the venue for the Azerbaijan GP. It is a 6,003 kilometer long route, traveled by the pilots in an anti-clockwise direction. Baku has 20 corners and is considered low-medium downforce.

The Baku race lasts 51 laps, covering 306.049 kilometres.

The Baku Circuit is at a lower altitude compared to sea level than most world circuits, at 28 meters below sea level, and has left great moments for the history of F1 despite its short life.

There we lived the remembered accident between Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo when they were teammates at Red Bull, the terrible controversy between Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton when the German rammed his rival after considering that he had stopped him behind the Safety Car, or the jug of water cold to Verstappen when he was leading in 2021 and the subsequent failure of Hamilton that allowed Sergio Pérez to win in a “sprint” race after a red flag.

How have the drivers fared at the Azerbaijan GP or Baku so far in F1?

As we have already mentioned, we must distinguish between the Azerbaijan GP (four editions) and the races in Baku, which have been five. That first European GP was won by Nico Rosberg, and the rest of the victories have been for active drivers: Ricciardo in 2017, Hamilton in 2018, Bottas in 2019 and Pérez in 2021. Curiously, none of the great favorites for the title this year know what which is imposed there.

This is the list of winning F1 drivers in Baku

• 2016: Nico Rosberg (Mercedes)
• 2017: Daniel Ricciardo (Red Bull)
• 2018: Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)
• 2019: Valtteri Bottas (Mercedes)
• 2021: Sergio Perez (Red Bull)

As for pole position, no one has repeated it either, and while Rosberg achieved the first in Baku, he was followed by Hamilton, Vettel, Bottas and Leclerc (in 2020 there was no grand prix there due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
