The Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku is around the corner. It will go on as arranged as a part of the F1 2021 season. However, fans won’t be permitted to attend. The street race was one of many races compelled to drop their 2020 plans because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The race will be held on June 4-6. It was given by Formula 1 on the temporary 2021 schedule. However, to meet the commitment this year, the Grand Prix weekend will happen behind closed doors. The race had quite a turnaround in 2019. It was reported that almost 85,000 fans attended the 2019 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-azerbaijan-grand-prix-how-long-is-the-f1-straight-at-baku/] The Baku City Circuit, which plans the race, said the choice not to permit fans “comes after extensive deliberation” with the Azerbaijan government, F1, and motorsport’s administering body, the FIA. “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,” the BCC [https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/azerbaijan-gp-to-take-place-behind-closed-doors/5589260/] said in a statement. “However, while the global situation and pandemic response is continuing to improve, it has become clear that the 2021 Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix race weekend has arrived too soon for BCC to safely host the event with fans present. “Our main priority this year will continue to be the health and safety of everyone working and participating at the event,” said promoter Arif Rahimov. HISTORY OF F1 IN AZERBAIJAN The 2016 European Grand Prix was the first occasion when the race was held at the circuit. It was also the first occasion when a Grand Prix took place in Azerbaijan. Valtteri Bottas recorded the highest speed in an F1 session, at 378 km/h (235 mph) during the qualifying. In 2017, the track hosted the first Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The race happened on 25th June. It was one of the five races on a road circuit during the 2017 Formula One season. F1 has raced at Baku as the Azerbaijan Grand Prix 3 times. Daniel Ricciardo, Lewis Hamilton, and Valtteri Bottas are the 3 race winners at the Baku City Circuit. 

F1 is heading to its next destination. After a stunning week in Monaco, the next
race will be at Baku. Although fans will not be allowed.

<h2>Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2021- Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</h2>

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

For a long time, Bernie Ecclestone was the F1 supremo, having founded the Formula One Group. He?spent 40 years as chief executive of the company after gaining control of the commercial rights.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.
