    WELCOME BACK TO BAKU Dear friends, On behalf of Baku City Circuit, please let me welcome you to the third successive Formula 1 race weekend in Azerbaijan. Last year’s race in Baku was widely recognised as the most exciting and dramatic race of the year – if not the decade – by members of the media, teams, drivers and the global F1 fanbase alike. It truly was a race that had it all culminating in the most unexpected podium line up in many years. The fact that this historic race occurred under our new event title as the FORMULA 1 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX filled us with an even greater sense of pride and satisfaction for a job well done. This year we once again welcome the world to Baku at the slightly earlier date of late April to bear witness to the awe-inspiring sight of F1 cars negotiating one of the fastest and most testing circuits in Formula 1. Baku City Circuit’s winding, narrow sequences, 90-degree turns and high-speed straights - all set against the breath- taking backdrop of Baku’s UNESCO-protected old city, magnificent skylines and beautiful seaside promenade - have proven to be a major challenge to the current F1 grid, resulting in last year’s spectacular outcome and many on-track altercations. We are very confident of a similar explosion of drama, speed and bravery occurring once again for the 2018 edition. Furthermore, the off-track entertainment will be bigger and better than ever before with world-class music, visual and conceptual artists once again performing all along the specially constructed Fan Zone all weekend.

  • Prema Officialises Leclerc and Petecof for 2020 Season
    Prema officialises Leclerc and Petecof for 2020 season Two FDA drivers in the Formula Regional European Championship confirm the goodness and interest in the FIA certified championship Rome, 17th January 2020 – After the confirmation of the participation in the 2020 season of all the teams registered in last year's championship, and the 25 points of FIA Super License, important signs of appreciation of the Formula Regional European Championship certified by FIA continue to arrive. The first two drivers officially presented by Prema for the 2020 season are Gianluca Petecof, a strong driver who has raced two seasons in the Italian F4 Championship powered by Abarth, with an amazing fourth place in the general classification and first of the Rookies in 2018 and second overall in 2019 , and Arthur Leclerc, younger brother of the F1 champion Ferrari driver Charles, who will be able to show how much "blood does not lie" in the only FIA certified championship among those of the same level. Angelo Rosin - Team Principal "It is with great pleasure that we can continue to work with Gianluca for the coming season. It will be his third year with us so he has a great knowledge of the team's work method and ethics and that will definitely be an advantage in terms of adapting to a new car and making a step technically. We are delighted to have him on board for 2020. We are also extremely happy to welcome Arthur to the team. We are absolutely looking forward to having him in our talent pool. In the early stages of his career he made the most out his chances to race, so we are confident about the potential for 2020 especially given how we saw him perform as a contender.
