WILLIAMS RACE DAY HOSPITALITY: Azerbaijan F1 GP 2023

On 30th April 2023 we were back at the Williams Experience Centre for ‘Race Day Hospitality’. This week was for the Azerbaijan F1 GP.

Azerbaijan, a former Soviet republic between Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia, is the latest F1 destination with large oil reserves and a dubious human rights record. Disgraced former Renault F1 boss Flavio Briatore is said to have helped Bernie Ecclestone sign a deal for the race with the autocratic government of Azerbaijan, who are rumored to be paying around $50m USD per year in sanctioning fees. A five-year binding contract was signed in April 2014, right before oil prices began a big slide. In 2019, Azerbaijan Grand Prix organisers signed a new deal securing the future of the event until 2023.

The inaugural 2016 event was attended by just 30,000 fans over three days. Attendance over the weekend rose to 71,541 in 2017, an increase of 138%, before rising over 30% again at the 2018 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The figure dropped by around 9,000 in 2019 to 85,000 spectators. Baku remains one of the least-attended races on the F1 calendar.

The 2020 Azerbaijan Grand Prix was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, whilst the 2021 race took place behind closed doors. In May 2021, organisers announced that the event would remain on the calendar until at least 2024.

The Baku City Circuit was designed by Hermann Tilke, who has been responsible for laying out so many of F1’s newest tracks. It’s located right in the heart of the city, close to the main promenade on the Caspian sea. In addition to many long straights that make it the ‘fastest street circuit in the world’, the Baku circuit also includes a very narrow section (turns 8 through 12) next to the old city walls. At 6.003km, the Baku City Circuit is the second longest on the current F1 calendar after Spa Francorchamps (7.004km).
