F1 track action starts on Friday in Baku with two, 1-hour free practice sessions (FP1 & FP2) for teams to find the perfect setup.
Free practice 3 (FP3) takes place on Saturday afternoon, building up to qualifying; a 3-part session where lap times decide starting positions for the Grand Prix on Sunday.
| Friday | First Practice | 12:30 - 13:30 |
| Second Practice | 16:00 - 17:00 | |
| Saturday | Third Practice | 12:30 - 13:30 |
| Qualifying | 16:00 - 17:00 | |
| Sunday | Grand Prix (51 laps or 120 minutes)* | 15:00 - 17:00 |
*An F1 race has a maximum time of 2 hours, but can run for up to 4 hours if there are red flags. Jump to full timetable.
This is when the grandstands really start to fill up. 2 hours before lights out, drivers warm-up for the race by waving at fans and answering questions. Last chance photo op before the helmets go on.
The driver’s parade at the Azerbaijan GP is from 13:00 – 13:30 on Sunday.
A good chance to see the star drivers of the future. F2, the feeder series to F1 has seen many well-known names pass through its ranks. The single-seater cars have an identical chassis, engine and tyres which means it’s all about driver skill and the racing is close.
On Friday the F2 action starts with a 45-minute practice session in the morning and a 30-minute qualifying in the afternoon. The Sprint Race is on Saturday and the Feature Race on Sunday.
