Overview

  • Formula 1 and Baku organisers signed a new four-year deal that keeps the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on the calendar until at least 2030.
  • The previous contract was due to conclude after 2026, and the fresh agreement was announced with public praise from F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali.
  • Domenicali thanked President Ilham Aliyev, Minister Farid Gayibov, Anar Alakbarov, the Azerbaijan Automobile Federation, and the Baku City Circuit team for their support.
  • The race marks its 10th anniversary in 2025 on a six‑kilometre street layout featuring long straights and a narrow castle section, having only missed 2020 due to the pandemic.
  • Coverage notes the extension could improve regional scheduling and potentially bolster efforts to revive Istanbul Park, which remains a possibility rather than a confirmed plan.
