Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2022: Time, TV, live stream, grid

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix has become a popular addition to the Formula 1 calendar and the sport is now heading back to Baku.

Last year’s race turned into one with an enthralling ending, after Lance Stroll and Max Verstappen were thankfully able to walk away unscathed from suffering separate tyre blowouts at around 200mph on the long pits straight.

A standing restart came after a red-flag period with Sergio Perez ahead of Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton looked to get the jump on Perez at Turn 1 but accidentally flicked his ‘brake magic’ button, which sent him straight on into the run-off area and out of the points.

Perez took home his first win for Red Bull and headed an unlikely podium that also featured Sebastian Vettel and Pierre Gasly – and this is part of the reason why Baku became an instant hit when it joined Formula 1 in 2016.

Where overtaking around Monaco last time out was almost impossible, Baku has plenty of ways to make progress.

The title picture is finely poised, with Perez now within 15 points of Verstappen at the top of the standings with last year’s Azerbaijan pole-sitter Charles Leclerc wedged in between.
