F1 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix Weather Forecast In Baku

Originally posted on F1 on SI | By Kaitlin Tucci | Last updated Sep 18, 2025 11:49 AM ET

Formula 1 is returning to the intense and exciting streets of Baku that have brought us a different winner every year for the past 3 years. This includes our 2024 winner and current World Driver's Championship Leader, Oscar Piastri.

For the past few years, Baku has been a consistently dry and hot race. However, this year with an overcast weekend ahead there are chances that rain could impact sessions throughout the weekend.

In 2024, this weather spelled success for Oscar Piastri who took home his second Formula 1 win at this track by a 10+ second margin over Ferrari's Charles Leclerc.

As things stand, with conditions expected to be slightly different than in former years, Formula 1 fans are in for a potentially exciting race.
