BAKU, 29 days
ago
Baku City Circuit (BCC) has confirmed that the return of Formula 1 to Azerbaijan on the weekend of June 4 to 6, 2021 will be staged behind closed doors.
This decision was taken in light of ongoing health and safety concerns caused by the coronavirus pandemic and comes after extensive deliberation between BCC and the Government of the Azerbaijan Republic, Formula One World Championship Ltd and the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).
Following the unfortunate cancellation of last year’s race weekend in Azerbaijan’s capital city, every opportunity has been explored to find a way to stage the race weekend in 2021 in a safe and responsible manner that would allow the return of fans to the fastest street circuit in F1.
