Live update on Formula 1: Azerbaijan Grand Prix - Ongoing Crisis - Hamilton's Next Blunder
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the 17th race of the year and the final stop on this year's European Formula 1 tour, is set to take centre stage this weekend. The city track, known for its tight corners and high-speed sections, will push drivers to their limits.
The practice sessions have already begun, with Lando Norris setting the pace in the first practice, securing a strong start for the race. However, Lewis Hamilton faced a setback during the practice session, damaging his front wing in a mistake that is unexpected from the seven-time world champion, given his impressive record.
George Russell will make his return to the track after missing Thursday's practice due to health issues. He is expected to participate in the second practice session, which starts at 2 pm.
Max Verstappen, currently in third place with 230 points, and Lando Norris, who is in second place with 293 points, are the big favourites for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Oscar Piastri leads the championship with 324 points, putting him in a strong position heading into the final stretch of the season.
Meanwhile, Pierre Gasly and the two Alpines are struggling on the city track, with Gasly's recent announcement of a long-term extension causing a stir in the Formula 1 world.
