Pierre Gasly reflects on Baku challenge ahead of Azerbaijan GP

French Formula One driver Pierre Gasly of Alpine said he enjoys racing in Baku, describing the Azerbaijan Grand Prix circuit as a demanding track with plenty of opportunities for overtaking.

The 30-year-old driver made the remarks in comments to the press service of the French representative, as reported by Azerbaijani media.

“Baku always promises serious challenges. I like competing there, and I like the fast and twisty sections of the track. In addition, the races here are usually exciting because of the numerous overtaking opportunities. In 2021, I finished on the podium in Baku. But in recent years, our team’s performance at this track has not been very successful. I hope we will have an opportunity to score points,” Gasly said.

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix is scheduled to take place in Baku on September 24-26.
