Latest 2025 F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix weather forecast: Rain on the way?

The 17th round of the F1 season takes place around the Baku City
Circuit, which hosts the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Max Verstappen will
start from pole position, but has unusual company behind him with
Carlos Sainz and Liam Lawson starting from second and third
respectively. There was no precipitation present at the circuit on
Friday, however during the two-hour qualifying session, there were
spits of rain. It caused issues for some drivers as it made the
track surface incredibly slippery. On Sunday, there are set to be a
few scattered showers, some even heavy, especially in the morning
and early afternoon. However, they are not expected to extend to
the afternoon, meaning the 51-lap race is due to take place in dry
conditions. Temperatures will hover around 21°C, and the sun will
peek through on occasion. As was the case on Saturday, wind could
play a big role in the race. Gusts of between 50 and 60 km/h are
forecast during the grand prix, which could create another headache
for the drivers.
