How to follow Azerbaijan Grand Prix on the BBC

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix will be on BBC Radio 5 Live on Sunday from 12:00 BST

The 2024 Formula 1 season continues with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix at Baku City Circuit from 13-15 September.

At the Italian Grand Prix last time out, Charles Leclerc secured a stunning home win for Ferrari, ahead of the McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen leads Norris in the drivers' championship by 62 points, with third-placed Leclerc 86 points behind the three-time world champion.

Pirelli have chosen the softest tyres in the range for Baku - the same compounds as last year - with teams able to select from the C3 (white, hard), C4 (yellow, medium) and C5 (red, soft).

What is the Azerbaijan GP weather forecast?

The 6.003km street circuit in Baku features 20 corners and is famous for its fast, 2.2km start-finish straight

The risk of rain is very low for this weekend's race in Azerbaijan.

Sunny intervals and a gentle to moderate breeze are forecast for all three days of track action, with temperatures reaching highs of 27 degrees.

Sunday's 51-lap grand prix should see clear skies and dry conditions throughout.

This will be the first race in Baku to take place in September, after the event was moved from its usual spring slot as part of F1's efforts to regionalise the calendar and become more sustainable.

Is Oliver Bearman driving in Baku?

Haas replacement Oliver Bearman has six points in the drivers' championship - the same amount as Kevin Magnussen

Briton Oliver Bearman makes his second grand prix appearance of the 2024 season in Azerbaijan this weekend.

The 19-year-old will be replacing Kevin Magnussen at Haas, as the Dane is banned for the race in Baku after exceeding Formula 1's penalty-point limit.

Bearman, who has already been signed as a Haas driver for 2025, previously substituted for Carlos Sainz at Ferrari in Saudi Arabia earlier this season and scored seven points.

Magnussen is the first driver to be given a race ban since the penalty-points system was introduced in 2013.
