About the Circuit
The Baku City Circuit combines a 2.2 km straight—the longest in F1—with an incredibly tight and narrow section through the Old City walls. This extreme contrast between flat-out speed and delicate precision makes car setup a massive compromise. The circuit has produced some of the most chaotic and unpredictable races in recent F1 history.
