Formula 1 is heading back to Baku with one of the most challenging and unique street circuits on the F1 Calendar. With three former race winners on the grid (Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and Oscar Piastri), this race is sure to be exciting.

The favorites to win this weekend are our current F1 World Driver Championship leader Oscar Piastri and his McLaren teammate Lando Norris, who sits just 31 points back. Can McLaren secure another win, or will Max Verstappen upset the Papaya duo again in Baku?
