Button knows the challenge of Baku: 'It will be a tricky one'

From Monaco to Baku. Formula 1 goes from one street circuit to another. In both places the walls are close, but further comparisons end there. In fact, Baku is also a high-speed circuit at certain stretches.

Difficult push

Jenson Button looks at the race at SkySports already looking ahead to the race. Unlike in Monaco, there are overtaking opportunities in Baku, because of those high speeds. "It's a tricky one as well," says Button. "It is a really tough place to push your car to the limit. It is very easy to lock an inside tire and end up facing the wrong way or in the barriers."

An important condition for success, according to Button, is getting the tires at the right temperature. The former world champion sees that the drivers are struggling with that after the rule changes this season. If someone doesn't manage to get the tires properly warmed up, he will certainly notice that in Baku, Button believes.

Mercedes there?

Finally, Button asks himself aloud who will win Sunday's Grand Prix? Laughing, he says he has no idea. "But very likely we are going to see the Red Bull and the Ferrari upfront. I think Mercedes will be a bit more competitive there."
