How azerbaijan grand prix became f1's antidote to 'boring' monaco

Play all audios:


Much like Monaco, Baku is full of tight and twisty corners, particularly through Turns 8, 9 and 10 which see the drivers cut through the Baku Old City. It is very much like threading the eye


of a needle, with the track just 7.6metres wide at its tightest point. That has caused problems for several drivers in the past, with Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc crashing into the wall


during qualifying in 2019. That mix of straights and corners makes life hell for the strategists, meaning the no team truly dominates.
