The Formula 1 race in Baku in 2017 was rated as the race with the most exciting and most unexpected moments of the season in the world by most fans of automotive fans, media representatives and Paddock Club members in surveys conducted around the world's leading media, Baku City Circuit Operation Company told local media.

The clashes between Luis Hamilton and Sebastian Fettel during the race were one of the most memorable events in the history of Formula 1 races.

It should be noted that in the last race held in Baku, the Red Bull team's Daniel Riccardo had an unexpected victory. The next places were taken respectively by the drivers of the Mercedes and Williams teams, Valtteri Bottas and Lens Stroll. Lens Stroll, who won the third place in the debut year in Formula 1, won the title of the youngest pilot in the podium.

In addition, according to the latest report by "Pirelli", the wheel supplier of Formula 1, Azerbaijan Grand Prix in 2017 was the most overpowering race among the Grand Prix races in the world.

Executive Director of Baku City Circuit Operation Company Arif Rahimov commented on the results of the international media's assessment of the Baku competition last season.

“We are very glad that the Grand Prix of Azerbaijan, held in Baku last summer, was highly appreciated by the auto community. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the whole team of the Operation Company. Exactly because of their hard work and determination, we have achieved such a great race in 2017,” he said.

The second Formula 1 racing in Baku showed that the Baku track has already demonstrated its uniqueness by hosting the most beautiful competition we have been trying to implement for a long time, Rahimov noted.

“In recent years, it's impossible to remember another race with such a dramatic and intense event. In addition, in the previous race, a great increase was observed in both the local and international audiences. In addition to performing the best race in 2017, we have given the Formula 1 fans an unforgettable entertainment program,” he said.

We are confident that 2018 Formula 1 Grand Prix will give all the auto fans the most exciting moments with the spectacular moments on and outside the track, Rahimov said.
