What's the weather forecast for the 2023 Azerbaijan Grand Prix?

Formula 1 returns from its Spring break and gets right back into the thick of the action at Baku, with the first F1 Sprint of the season. Here is what weather conditions the drivers and their teams can expect to face this weekend.

The Baku City Circuit has played host to Formula 1 every year since 2016 – apart from 2020 due to Covid-19 – and in just a short space of time, it has already produced some memorable Grands Prix. Also, for the first time, it will host a Sprint weekend.

Baku is still yet to have a multiple-time race winner and, last season, it was Max Verstappen’s turn to stand on the top step of the podium. The Red Bull racer capitalised on the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz retiring with mechanical issues as he went on to seal victory ahead of his team mate Sergio Perez.

The weather this weekend makes for good reading for the spectators as there is a low chance of rain across the three days of action, but you can scroll down below for a more detailed weather forecast.
