Azerbaijan has secured its position on the Formula One calendar until at least 2030, following the announcement of a four-year contract extension. This decision comes as the Baku City circuit, which debuted in 2016 as the European Grand Prix, prepares to host its ninth race this weekend.

According to Formula One chief executive Stefano Domenicali, the Baku City circuit is distinguished by its technical sections and long straights that weave through the picturesque shoreline and historic old town, providing fans with an eventful race year after year. Domenicali expressed enthusiasm about the extension, highlighting the strong trust and dedication between Formula One, the Azerbaijani Government, and the promoters.

The renewed agreement ensures that Azerbaijan will continue to showcase its vibrant culture and scenic landscapes through this global sporting event. As the previous arrangement was set to expire next year, this extension lays the groundwork for continued collaboration and racing excitement in the region.
