The Azerbaijan Grand Prix of "Formula 1" takes to the main stage today – the Baku City Circuit.
Idman.biz reports that the start of the race, which is the 17th stage of the 2025 season, promises a tense struggle.
Max Verstappen won the pole position in qualifying. Championship leader Oscar Piastri will start the main race from only 9th place due to an accident. His McLaren teammate Lando Norris will start from 7th place.
The weather forecast still creates uncertainty: cloudy weather, the possibility of rain and strong winds can create difficulties for the pilots.
"Red Bull" and Verstappen will try to turn their superior starting position into a victory, while "McLaren" will fight to improve the situation after an unsuccessful qualifying stage. Fans are waiting for an exciting race full of surprises and a dramatic ending.
It should be reminded that Oscar Piastri was the winner of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix last year. This time, it seems difficult for the Australian driver to repeat that success. Instead, Max Verstappen can repeat the achievement of his former teammate Sergio Perez and win in Baku for the second time.
