2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix: F1 Race, Qualifying & Winners

The European leg of the 2025 F1 World Championship came to an end at Monza, and with it came the shift in both geography and momentum. The summer stretch through the sport’s traditional heartlands had delivered its share of drama, but now Formula 1 left behind the historical tracks for the intensity of its season-closing flyaways. First stop: Baku, the City of Winds. Perched on the Caspian Sea and the beating heart of the Caucasus, Azerbaijan’s capital has carved its own place in F1 folklore since 2016 with its high-speed straights, unforgiving walls, and the kind of unpredictability that can flip the championship on its head. It’s a track that never forgets to punish complacency.

At 6.003 kilometres, the Baku City Circuit is one of the most distinctive challenges on the calendar, threading its way through both the historic heart and modern skyline of Azerbaijan’s capital. With 20 corners—many of them sharp 90-degree bends—this is a track of extremes. On one end, the mile-long main straight is so wide it invites cars to run three-abreast at top speed; on the other, the circuit squeezes into the medieval walls of the old town, where Turn 8 narrows to just seven metres across, leaving drivers with little more than a heartbeat of space.

That duality is exactly why Baku has developed a reputation for chaos. Safety Cars are never far from the conversation here, with even the smallest mistake carrying a heavy price against concrete walls. The speed differential is also one of the biggest in Formula 1: tight, technical sections can drop the pace to 60 km/h, while at the other extreme, Valtteri Bottas once clocked an unofficial F1 record of 378 km/h down the main straight in 2016. Such extremes keep engineers awake at night, as teams are forced to chase an aerodynamic compromise—enough downforce to survive the tightest corners without giving away the raw speed needed to attack in qualifying or defend in race trim. It’s a balancing act that makes Baku one of the most unpredictable and entertaining stops of the season.

Baku Stats

Since its debut in 2016, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix has quickly built a reputation for delivering fresh winners and unpredictable outcomes. In eight editions, seven different drivers have stood on the top step of the podium—a level of variety rare in modern Formula 1. The exception is Sergio Pérez, who has made the streets of Baku something of a personal hunting ground with victories in 2021 and 2023 for Red Bull and was in the hunt in 2024 before disaster struck. Before the 2025 race, the Milton Keynes team remained the most decorated here, also triumphing with Daniel Ricciardo in 2017 and Max Verstappen in 2022. Mercedes, however, had matched their success blow for blow, with Nico Rosberg taking the inaugural race, Lewis Hamilton victorious in 2018, and Bottas winning the year after. McLaren joined the roll of honour in 2024, courtesy of Oscar Piastri and his breakthrough win on the shores of the Caspian.

If race-day glory has been evenly shared, qualifying tells a different story—and one name dominates it. Charles Leclerc had been the undisputed master of Saturdays in Baku, taking four consecutive pole positions between 2021 and 2024, often against the odds with machinery not always considered the fastest in the field. Before his reign, Nico Rosberg, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Valtteri Bottas each claimed a single pole apiece. On the broader podium picture, Pérez again led the way with five career rostrums at this circuit, followed by Vettel with three. Among the teams, Mercedes’ consistency shone through with seven total podiums, narrowly ahead of Red Bull’s six, while Ferrari—powered largely by Leclerc’s heroics—had five to their name.

In Saturday qualifying, Max Verstappen secured pole for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix with a 1:41.117, edging Carlos Sainz in a qualifying session that saw six red flags. Liam Lawson impressed with third, while McLaren’s Oscar Piastri crashed out and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc hit the wall, both ending in P9 and P10, respectively. Hamilton was eliminated in Q2, leaving Ferrari work to do in Sunday’s race.

In Sunday’s race, Max Verstappen produced a flawless drive to win the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, leading all 51 laps from pole and finishing over 14 seconds ahead of George Russell. Carlos Sainz secured his first podium for Williams in third, while Kimi Antonelli narrowly missed out on the rostrum in fourth. Behind them, Liam Lawson scored a career-best fifth for Racing Bulls, just ahead of Red Bull’s Yuki Tsunoda, who earned his strongest result yet for the team.

McLaren’s Lando Norris could only manage seventh after slipping to ninth mid-race and failing to pass Tsunoda in the closing laps. His team-mate and Drivers’ Championship leader Oscar Piastri endured a disastrous day, jumping the start and crashing out on lap one at Turn 5, reducing his title lead to 25 points. Ferrari salvaged eighth and ninth with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, while Isack Hadjar completed the top 10. Further back, penalties for Alex Albon and Fernando Alonso shaped the midfield order, while Piastri was the race’s only retirement in an event that shook the 2025 F1 World Championship picture.

Championship background

Round 17 of the 2025 F1 World Championship arrived with McLaren’s title fight very much alive and tightening. Oscar Piastri still led the standings, but his cushion over team-mate Lando Norris had been trimmed to 31 points after the 2025 Italian Grand Prix, where the Briton capitalised on stronger pace and a late-race team orders tangle to finish ahead. The weekend wasn’t without frustration for McLaren—an untimely pit-stop error left Norris fuming—but their bigger setback came at the hands of Red Bull. Max Verstappen, quiet by his own high standards in recent races, roared back with a commanding win, handing the Woking (McLaren) squad just their fourth race-day defeat of the year.

History suggested Baku could offer just as much intrigue. In 2024, Verstappen endured a rare off weekend here, opening the door for Piastri to announce himself as a future title contender with a measured drive that toppled Charles Leclerc, despite the Ferrari driver’s fourth consecutive pole at the venue. Norris, meanwhile, fought through from 15th on the grid to fourth, a recovery that underlined McLaren’s strength. With the 2025 Constructors’ Championship now pretty much wrapped up and in McLaren’s grasp, pressure on both its drivers would only intensify. And in Baku, pressure has a way of finding cracks—just ask Sergio Pérez and Carlos Sainz, whose late-race crash for the podium in 2024 left the race ending under a Virtual Safety Car. On a circuit built for drama, the title fight may just find its sharpest edges yet.

Race entries

The lineup of drivers and teams remained the same as the 2025 season’s entry list, apart from:

• A driver swap at the sister teams, Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls, where Yuki Tsunoda moved up to the parent Red Bull team and Liam Lawson headed in the opposite direction back to Racing Bulls, for round three at the 2025 Japanese Grand Prix.
• Jack Doohan stepping out of the race seat at Alpine (post Miami), beginning with the following round, the 2025 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. The team confirmed that former Williams and Alpine reserve driver, Franco Colapinto, would take his place alongside number one driver, Pierre Gasly.

Aside from these changes, all the drivers from the start of the season took to the track during FP1, FP2, FP3, Qualifying, and the Grand Prix.

Tyre choices

Pirelli took an aggressive approach to Baku in 2025, bringing its softest trio of compounds for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix—a step down in durability from 2024. The return of the C6 as the Soft, having already featured earlier this season at Imola, Monaco, and Montreal. That made the C5 the Medium and the C4 the Hard for the weekend. On a circuit where grip is scarce and wear levels are traditionally low, sticking with last year’s allocation would almost certainly have locked the race into a predictable one-stop. By shifting softer, Pirelli had opened the door to a possible two-stop showdown, especially with the 2025 compounds proving far less susceptible to graining. Teams had also sharpened their tyre management this year—Monza being the latest example—so strategies ahead of the race could have still converged, but the softer step could still create windows for bold calls under pressure.

Baku’s unique mix of high-speed straights and tight corners added another layer of complexity. While the low grip encourages drivers to push the rubber longer, those 2km blasts at full throttle pile vertical load into the tyres, demanding careful balancing acts from the engineers.

In 2024, most of the grid started on the Medium (C4), with just a handful—including Lando Norris and Alex Albon—gambling on the Hard. A one-stop was the expectation, but as always in Baku, there were exceptions: Lance Stroll was forced into an extra stop with a puncture, while Max Verstappen and Pierre Gasly switched late in pursuit of the fastest lap, the latter even stretching his Hard stint to 50 laps before bolting on Softs with two to go. That blend of conservative baseline strategy and opportunistic gambles is exactly what makes tyre calls in Azerbaijan such a decisive factor—one wrong move here, and even the strongest weekends can unravel in an instant.

Free Practice

Lando Norris set the pace in FP1 for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix with a benchmark 1:42.704, leading McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc after a red flag delay caused by Carlos Sainz. The session was eventful, with Hamilton clipping the wall at Turn 5, Verstappen struggling to seventh after running wide, and Albon impressing in fifth despite late contact with the barriers.

Lewis Hamilton headed a Ferrari 1-2 in FP2 for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, posting a 1:41.293 to narrowly beat Charles Leclerc. McLaren endured a troubled hour as Norris struck the wall at Turn 4 and retired with suspension damage, while championship leader Piastri brushed the Tecpro barriers and was later placed under investigation for a yellow-flag infringement. Mercedes looked strong with Russell and rookie Antonelli completing the top four, while Haas rookie Bearman took fifth ahead of Verstappen.

Lando Norris led the way in FP3 for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, setting a 1:41.223 to beat Max Verstappen and title rival Oscar Piastri. Tricky conditions from overnight rain and strong winds caught out several drivers, with Ollie Bearman running wide and Liam Lawson spinning at Turn 16. Hamilton took fourth for Ferrari, Antonelli and Russell followed in fifth and sixth, while Leclerc could only manage tenth after a late mistake.

Qualifying

Qualifying in Baku produced a record six red flags as chaos reigned on the streets of Azerbaijan. Verstappen kept his cool to put Red Bull on pole with a 1:41.117, beating Williams’ Carlos Sainz by nearly half a second and relegating Liam Lawson to a superb third. Mercedes locked out fourth and fifth with Antonelli and Russell, while Tsunoda claimed sixth in the second Red Bull. Lando Norris could do no better than seventh after a scrappy lap, leaving Hadjar, Piastri, and Leclerc to complete the top 10.

Further down the order, Lewis Hamilton was eliminated in Q2 after struggling for rhythm, leaving him only 12th on the grid. Haas rookie Ollie Bearman also crashed, failing to set a time, while Q1 saw Franco Colapinto, Nico Hülkenberg, and Alex Albon all bring out stoppages after hitting the barriers. With the grid scrambled, favourites shaken, and the title fight tilted by Piastri’s costly crash, Sunday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix promised another twist in the unpredictable season.

Later in the day, Esteban Ocon was disqualified from qualifying after his Haas failed FIA post-session checks, with the rear wing found to flex beyond the 0.5mm limit allowed. The stewards confirmed the breach, citing non-compliance with Article 3.15.17, and ruled that the usual penalty of disqualification must apply. As a result, Ocon dropped out of the classification, while Pierre Gasly and Alex Albon each gained a place on the grid.

What happened in the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix?

Max Verstappen stamped his authority on the streets of Baku with a commanding, lights-to-flag victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The Red Bull driver led all 51 laps without challenge, crossing the line in 1:33:26.408 to claim his second straight pole-to-win weekend and finish 14.609s clear of George Russell’s Mercedes. Williams celebrated its first podium of the season with Carlos Sainz in third, the Spaniard recovering superbly after narrowly missing out on pole 24 hours earlier.

The race began with instant drama as Drivers’ Championship leader Oscar Piastri faltered off the line, creeping forward and triggering anti-stall from ninth on the grid. His woes multiplied when he lost control at Turn 5 on lap one, crashing out and becoming the race’s sole retirement. That disaster opened the door for McLaren team-mate Lando Norris to reduce the deficit in the 2025 F1 World Championship to 25 points, but it was hardly the Sunday Norris had envisioned. Starting and finishing seventh, he briefly dropped to ninth during the pit cycle and could not find a way past Yuki Tsunoda in a tense final-lap scrap.

Behind Verstappen’s untouchable display, Russell drove a faultless race to claim second and close in on Ferrari in the Constructors’ standings. Rookie Kimi Antonelli came within two seconds of a podium, ultimately settling for fourth after running strongly all afternoon. The highlight further back was Liam Lawson, who steered his Racing Bulls to a career-best fifth place, holding off late pressure from Yuki Tsunoda, who himself secured his best finish for Red Bull in sixth.

Ferrari endured a muted day. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc could only manage eighth and ninth after starting well down the order, while rookie Isack Hadjar capped off a strong weekend for Racing Bulls by taking the final point in tenth. Further back, Gabriel Bortoleto (Kick Sauber) led home Ollie Bearman’s Haas and Alex Albon’s Williams, though Albon was hit with a 10-second penalty for a mid-race collision with Alpine’s Franco Colapinto.

Haas’ Esteban Ocon, forced to start last after his car failed post-qualifying scrutineering, salvaged 14th, ahead of Fernando Alonso—penalised for jumping the start, an unfortunate reaction to Piastri’s own jump start. Nico Hülkenberg, Lance Stroll, and the Alpine pair of Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto completed the finishers. For Piastri, however, there was nothing to salvage: his first-lap crash not only ended his streak of finishes but tightened the pressure in the title fight, handing Norris the smallest of lifelines as the season headed deeper into its decisive flyaway rounds.

Azerbaijan Grand Prix: Facts and Stats

• Max Verstappen wrote another page into the record books in Baku, securing the sixth grand slam of his career — pole, win, fastest lap and every lap led. That tied him with Lewis Hamilton for second on the all-time list, leaving only Jim Clark ahead on eight.
• Carlos Sainz joined a very exclusive club on Sunday. By finishing third, the Spaniard became just the second F1 driver after Alain Prost to stand on the podium with McLaren, Ferrari and Williams.
• Williams returned to the rostrum in style. Their last podium in a full-distance Grand Prix came on these very streets in 2017, when Lance Stroll stunned the field for third. George Russell grabbed a P2 in the one-lap 2021 Belgian Grand Prix, but this was their first proper race podium in eight years.
• Oscar Piastri’s incredible consistency finally came to an end. His lap-one crash broke a streak of 34 consecutive points finishes and 44 straight race completions — the second-longest run of reliability in F1 history.
• It was also déjà vu for Piastri. The Australian’s only other first-lap exit came at Spa in 2023, making Baku just the second time he’s been out before the race had truly begun.
