F1 Baku 2018 GP Live Stream: Azerbaijan Grand Prix schedule, UK times, and watch online for free
What a start the 2018 Formula One season has got off to. We’re only three races in, but we’ve already had more than our fair share of drama and surprises. Keep it coming, we say, with the F1 Baku 2018 GP set to take place this weekend. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the Azerbaijan Grand Prix online for free, including the F1 Baku schedule, UK times, and TV channel details.
Favourites and reigning champions Mercedes are yet to really hit their stride so far, and Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel has made them pay. Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo has also impressed, taking first place in Shanghai in breathtaking fashion last time out, and piling even more pressure on Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas in the process.
And so we move on Baku, and the fourth race of the 2018 calendar. The Australian was triumphant on this circuit last year, and will be full of confidence going into this weekend. Can he make it two wins on the trot?
Bottas took top spot in the first practice session, with Ricciardo and Force India’s Sergio Perez right behind him. Hamilton came fourth, with Vettel all the way back in 10th place. In the second practice session, Ricciardo moved up a place to first, with Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in second and third.
Here’s our guide on how to catch the action from the UK, including channels and times for practice races, qualifying and, of course, the main event.
You’ll be pleased to hear that there are no early morning starts this weekend.
