The 2025 Formula 1 Grand Prix in Baku drew around 13,000 visitors from Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East.

The city circuit, known for combining some of F1’s fastest straights with its narrowest turns, again delivered unpredictable results. 

Organisers introduced upgraded safety barriers that reduced installation time from seven to five weeks, while ensuring rapid removal within 12 hours to restore city traffic. Two new grandstands boosted capacity to over 20,000 seats, reinforcing Baku’s role as a major stop on the global Formula 1 calendar.
