KEY FACTS
▸Longest straight in F1 at 2.2km — cars hit 370km/h past this grandstand
▸Caspian Sea visible to your left between sessions — stunning city backdrop
▸DRS from the Castle section delivers cars at absurd speed to T1 braking
▸Baku has one of the highest safety car rates in F1 — restarts are spectacular from here
WHAT IT'S LIKE
Cars reach 370km/h along this seafront straight before braking for T1 — the pressure wave hits you before the sound does. Safety car restarts off the straight produce some of the most chaotic braking zones in a season. The Caspian Sea is to your left and the old city skyline to your right; no other main grandstand in F1 has this setting.
FAN REVIEW
"Cars at 370km/h on a city street. I felt the compression wave before I heard the engine."
