Watch Azerbaijan Grand Prix live streams with all eyes again likely to be on McLaren team-mates Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris as they battle it out for the 2025 Formula 1 drivers' championship.
Norris marginally narrowed the gap two weekends ago at the Italian Grand Prix, as team orders after a botched pitstop put the Briton back above Piastri and into second place on the day, though the Australian still leads the standings by 31 points and won in Baku 12 months ago. Norris had looked the stronger of the two all weekend. Another good weekend for the pair could clinch the constructors' title with seven races to spare.
There was more chaos at the Baku City Circuit in qualifying, with a record six red flags at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Saturday. Ultimately, Max Verstappen posted 1min 41.117sec to sit at the front of the grid, with Carlos Sainz in the Williams unexpectedly completing the front row.
Championship rivals Norris and Piastri will start seventh and ninth respectively on the grid, with the latter crashing and the former failing to produce a solid final lap. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc also crashed to qualify in 10th.
Mercedes pair Kimi Antonelli and George Russell sit fifth and sixth, but Lewis Hamilton was unable to back up good Friday speed in practice into qualifying. The eight-time world champion didn't make it in Q3 and will start in 12th place.
Race weekend continues on Saturday, with qualifying at the Baku City Circuit. Here’s how to watch the Azerbaijan Grand Prix online from anywhere and potentially for FREE.

Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2025 preview
Lando Norris and championship leader Oscar Piastri will continue their duel to become world champion, with the former trailing the latter by 31 points. Norris narrowed the gap last weekend with a strong showing at Monza.
Not as strong, however, as a resurgent Max Verstappen, who took the checkered flag after posting the fastest pole position time in F1 history in qualifying. The Dutchman has struggled with a Red Bull that hasn't been up to speed this season, but Monza provided proof of an improving car and the four-time champion's enduring class.
The Ferraris of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton – fourth and sixth respectively last time out – will also hope to continue their improvements. Leclerc has take the past four poles and loves this track.
Baku is always one of the quickest street circuits on the calendar, with a 200mph straight that stretches to 1.4 miles, the longest of the season. There's also the city's UNESCO-protected castle the drivers funnel past to give a unique feel to proceedings.
