Overview

  • Organisers announced the four-year extension on September 20, confirming Baku’s place in Formula 1 through 2030.
  • The deal replaces a contract that had been set to end after the 2026 race, ensuring continuity for the Baku City Circuit.
  • F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali praised Baku’s unique layout and cited strong trust with local partners, while Azerbaijan’s sports minister framed the agreement as part of the country’s global sporting ambitions.
  • First held in 2016, the high-speed street course is known for unpredictable races, with Sergio Perez the only repeat winner across eight editions.
  • Coverage notes the renewal strengthens F1’s multi-year calendar picture, with Austin identified as the lone event without a confirmed future beyond 2026.
