Azerbaijan Grand Prix Predictions & Betting tips - Formule 1
by Devesh Jaganath |
Formula 1 arrives at the Baku City Circuit for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix this weekend. Oscar Piastri leads the 2025 F1 driver standings with 324 points, 31 ahead of teammate Lando Norris in second, while Max Verstappen holds third with 230 points. Let’s get into the race prediction.
If Saturday’s qualifying session was anything to go by, then we’re in for a thrilling Sunday here at the iconic Baku City Circuit. If you haven’t seen the grid yet, hold on to your hats.
In a drama-filled final qualifying session that smashed the F1 record for the most red flags, Max Verstappen dashed Carlos Sainz’s hopes of starting the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in pole position.
The defending champion clocked a time of 1:41.117, a potentially crucial performance after champion-elect Oscar Piastri crashed out during Q3 and teammate Lando Norris only managed P7 after clipping a wall.
Charles Leclerc hit the Turn 15 barrier but managed to secure P10. The hero of the afternoon was Liam Lawson, who clinched P3, ahead of the Mercedes duo of Kimi Antonelli (P4) and George Russell (P5).
Yuki Tsunoda (P6), Isack Hadjar (P8), Piastri (P9) and Leclerc (P10) round out the front half of the grid, setting us up for mighty battle in Baku.
