Shifted from F1’s typical Sunday slot in order not to clash with Azeri Remembrance Day, the street-circuit GP has consistently delivered incident-filled races since being added to the schedule in 2016.
Kimi Antonelli comes into the weekend’s action looking to further extend his lead at the summit of the Drivers’ Championship, having claimed another impressive victory at the Spanish Grand Prix last weekend to move 81 points clear of his Mercedes teammate George Russell.
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix takes place at the Baku City Circuit on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 3 p.m. AZT local time. That makes it a 7 a.m. ET or 4 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and for viewers in the UK, it’s 12 p.m. BST. Australian F1 fans are looking at an 9 p.m. AEST start on Sunday night.
