Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2022: Live Stream Start time, how to watch, predictions and line-ups and news

 Azerbaijan Grand Prix coverage gets underway from Friday, with the main race taking place on Sunday at 12pm

Now the dust has settled on a dramatic weekend in Monaco, F1 heads to the Azerbaijan GP as the drivers prepare to take on another street circuit.

It is off to Baku for round eight of the 2022 season as the battle for the drivers' championship increasingly looks like a three-horse race, with Sergio Perez sitting just six points behind Charles Leclerc and 15 points behind Max Verstappen after his victory in Monaco.

Charles Leclerc starts on pole, just as he did in 2021, with Sergio Perez completing the front row of the grid.

Max Verstappen and carlos Sainz then make up the second row to complete a Ferrari and red Bull lock out.

Baku is known for its speed and drama, the 51-lap, 6.003 kilometre City Circuit featuring a long main straight where drivers will be looking to use the slipstream. Intense strategic battles between Verstappen and Leclerc, the likes of which we have already seen this season, are surely on the cards again.

Elsewhere, Mercedes will be hoping Azerbaijan is as incident-filled as ever as they look to work George Russell from P5 and Lewis Hamilton from P7 up the order and into the contention for some podium places- as ever, anything is possible in Baku!
