Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2023 start time: F1 practice, qualifying and race schedule
Your complete guide to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2023 start time, plus full TV schedule for race weekend, including practice, qualifying and the GP itself.
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix is always a highlight of the Formula 1 calendar – after all, how many world sporting events require tactical navigation of a 900-year-old fortress?
Baku boasts an eye-catching circuit with a balanced blend of high speed corners and tight, intricate street sections that usually always throws up a dramatic moment or 12.
Formula 1 fans will be pleased to know that this weekend marks the start of an F1 double header – comprising Baku and Miami – following a stop-start beginning of the 2023 season.
Reigning champion Max Verstappen has opened up an inevitable early lead but as he knows all too well, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix shows little mercy and one miscalculation could permit the unforgiving walls to take a chomp out of your car.
Verstappen will enter every race this season as the favourite, though Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez will be on hand to sweep up after any mistakes and Aston Martin star Fernando Alonso will continue to position himself nicely in his bid to become the best of the rest.
RadioTimes.com brings you the full schedule for race weekend at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
