Salam Baku with Anjali

🇦🇿 Salam from Baku — a race weekend like no other. I’m joined by Anjali to dive into the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix at the Baku City Circuit, where old city walls meet 21st-century speed.

We break down the chaos and the charm of this street race: the endless straight, the castle section that feels impossibly tight, and why this medal shaped track has become one of the most unpredictable stops on the calendar. From late safety cars to tyre gambles and shock podiums, Baku once again proved that nothing here is straightforward.

We also talk about what it’s like being here in person — from model cars greeting you at the airport to hotels doubling their prices, and the way the whole city transforms for F1. For fans it’s a festival, for locals it’s a disruption, and for drivers it’s a survival test.

If you love the wild side of Formula 1 — where strategy, nerves, and street-circuit chaos collide — Baku always delivers.
