While the summer weather has finally shown its face over the past week, there is still every reason to stay home this weekend. The Azerbaijan Grand Prix has the potential to deliver some drama once again. Especially with the title fight slowly becoming more and more serious.

The 2021 Formula One World Championship has revolved around two people until now: Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton. They have therefore shared the victories so far, with Hamilton having to leave the lead in the title race to Verstappen with his seventh place finish in Monaco.

Where two fight for a leg...

However, starting in Monaco, there seems to be a third man who can at least compete for race wins. Just like in Monaco, Charles Leclerc also managed to take pole position in Baku with a bit of luck. The two aforementioned bantams will start right behind him. Can he keep them behind him?

Enough ingredients for a spectacular battle. The race in Baku will start at the traditional time of 13:00. Depending on the amount of safety cars, we will know about an hour and a half later if there is a Red Bull or a Mercedes in the lead of the championship.
