The 2018 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix has got underway at Baku City Circuit. The Grand Prix will feature three practice sessions ahead of Saturday’s qualifying and Sunday’s race.
The line-up includes Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas of Mercedes, Sergio Perez of Force India, Lance Stroll of Williams, Stoffel Vandoorne of McLaren, Marcus Ericsson of Sauber, Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari, Kevin Magnussen of Haas, Fernando Alonso of McLaren, Romain Grosjean of Haas, Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari, Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull, Pierre Gasly of Toro Rosso, Sergey Sirotkin of Williams, Brendon Hartley of Toro Rosso, Charles Leclerc of Sauber, Nico Hulkenberg of Renault, Esteban Ocon of Force India, Carlos Sainz of Renault, and Max Verstappen of Red Bull.
Last year’s race on the streets of Baku was one of the best of the season with Daniel Ricciardo winning for Red Bull, Sebastian Vettel seeing red mist and deliberately hitting Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas made it to second place despite “meeting” Kimi Raikkonen in the battle of the Finns, Lance Stroll become the youngest rookie to stand on the F1 podium and Max Verstappen retired because of yet more engine issues.
