The odd time Colapinto will race the Azerbaijan GP ⏰ | OneFootball

After the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort and the Italian Grand Prix at the legendary Monza circuit, Formula 1 took a week off before its last race of the 2025 season on European soil: the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on the Baku street circuit.

It was there that Franco Colapinto scored his first points last season with Williams, and he will look to do the same with Alpine, although it will be a challenging race due to the reduced capabilities of the A525 engine and the long straights of the street circuit.

In any case, unlike the recent races, in Baku, there will be a need to adapt to less frequent schedules for the category, as everything will start two hours earlier than usual. That is, the initial free practices on Friday and Saturday will be at 5:30 AM, while FP2 and Qualy are at 9 AM.

Even more importantly, the race on Sunday will start at 8:00 AM, all in Argentine time. The race is scheduled for 51 laps on the Baku street circuit, where Oscar Piastri triumphed in the 2024 season, ahead of Charles Leclerc and George Russell, and featured the crash between Carlos Sainz and Checo Pérez as one of the most notable moments.
