Formula One action resumes in Baku after this short break following three enthralling races in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Australia. Teams will reach Azerbaijan by 26th April and will take part in the practice sessions ahead of the main race on April 30.
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix is also set to host the first Sprint Race event of the 2023 season on April 29. Let us take a look at the most successful drivers and constructors at this Grand Prix.
The Azerbaijan GP hasn’t seen a repeat winner since its inaugural edition in 2017. In the previous edition, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen finished on top of the podium. Sergio Perez (2021), Valtteri Bottas (2019), Lewis Hamilton (2018) and Daniel Ricciardo (2017) are the winners of the earlier editions. Charles Leclerc holds the record of driving the fastest lap when he registered a timing of 1:43.009 at the 2019 edition of this Grand Prix.
When it comes to the constructors’, Red Bull are the most successful team in Azerbaijan having won the GP there out of five times – 2017, 2021, 2022. Mercedes have won it the remaining two times in 2018 and 2019.
Red Bull dominate the drivers’ championship standings after a fantastic start to the season with 1-2 finishes in both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia followed by another top-of-the-podium finish in Australia.
Max Verstappen leads the standings with 69 points followed by his team-mate Sergio Perez, who occupies the second spot with 54 points while Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso lies in the third spot with 45 points – ahead of Lewis Hamilton, Carlos Sainz and Lance Stroll.
In the constructors’ championship, the picture is no different. Reigning champions Red Bull lead the table with 123 points. Aston Martin are significantly behind in second place, having earned 65 points from three races so far. Mercedes are placed third in the leaderboard with 56 points in their kitty.
