The British driver Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) warned this Thursday about the difficulties presented by the Baku circuit, venue of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix next Sunday, for the eighth date of the Formula 1 calendar.
“The tight corners and speed of Baku are similar to Monaco, but the track is much faster. It is a long circuit where you can overtake. You hit corners at over 250 miles (400 km/h) and a small mistake can end up against the wall”.
It will be difficult,” said the seven-time champion in statements reproduced by the Italian newspaper Tuttosport.
The Britishhaving a weak season, is sixth in the Drivers’ Classification and He hasn’t won any races this year yet.
Baku is a street circuit in the capital of Azerbaijan that was added to the F1 calendar in 2017 and where Hamilton won in 2018.
