Expert F1 betting advice for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, brought to you by talkSPORT
In the heart of Baku, Azerbaijan, the Formula 1 circuit is ready to roar as the Azerbaijan Grand Prix takes centre stage. This year, the race promises to be an exciting one, with several drivers vying for victory.
Oscar Piastri, the reigning champion of this race, is set to compete once again. Piastri's past success at the Baku City Circuit makes him a strong contender for this year's event. He will be aiming to get back to free racing this weekend, hoping to defend his title.
Last season, Piastri dominated the race, leading every lap to claim a well-deserved victory. The most recent podium finishers in Azerbaijan, in 2024, were Max Verstappen in first place, George Russell in second, and Carlos Sainz in third. Sainz secured his first podium for Williams there, while Verstappen's dominance was evident as he led every lap.
George Russell, currently fourth in the Drivers' Championship, is a solid bet for a podium finish. He has already recorded six podium finishes this season, underlining his consistency and reliability. Russell finished fourth at the Baku City Circuit in his most recent appearance, and he will be aiming to improve on that this year.
Carlos Sainz Jr., who has finished in the top-10 six times in 2025, is also good value to finish in the points in Baku. Sainz has 16 points this season, and his experience and skill make him a formidable competitor.
