Show Notes
The most-interesting stories and talking points to look out for from the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Max Verstappen-Red Bull Racing, have they found something in the setup that can bring them in the fight between the McLaren drivers?
Can Verstappen and his legion of fans believe in a (very) late title fight in the 2025 Formula 1 season?
As for Ferrari, Charles Leclerc will be the favourite for pole position, but can he finally convert a pole to win around the streets of Baku? Leclerc has scored 4 consecutive pole positions for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, but has converted none of them into race wins. Will Ferrari be in the fight, can they maximise a race weekend performance, or will the bumpy streets of Baku catch them out?
McLaren can win the 2025 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship in Baku by scoring a 1-2 finish, and if they do so, they will be the "fastest" team to win the title in the season - with 7 races to go. However, will "papaya rules" (or "papaya mess") be in focus yet again on a weekend they can make history? Oscar Piastri & Lando Norris have been equally matched for several races, and that should continue in Baku.
As for the mid-field, there's a high percentage chance that one of the teams could spring a surprise podium, after all, we have had surprise podium visitors and plenty of weird moments in Baku - which is also the highlight of the preview show for the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
