About the Circuit
The Baku City Circuit is a 6.003 km street circuit in the Azerbaijani capital, featuring 20 corners and a layout that winds through the historic city before opening onto a long straight along the Caspian Sea waterfront. Its combination of tight, technical sections and high-speed passages gives it a character unlike most permanent circuits on the Formula 1 calendar.
The circuit has established itself as one of the most unpredictable venues of the season, consistently producing varied race outcomes and close competition. The current lap record of 1:43.009, set in 2024, reflects the raw pace that the modern generation of Formula 1 cars can extract from this demanding urban layout.
