This weekend sees F1 cars race around Baku for the eighth time! 🙌

Here are some fast facts about one of the most picturesque and challenging street circuits on the calendar 🇦🇿

#F1 #AzerbaijanGP The first Azerbaijan Grand Prix took place in 2017, although Baku City Circuit had hosted the European Grand Prix the year prior

Every point in Formula 1 is worth so much, it's no wonder pressure can mount quickly on drivers in a poor run of form 😣

Sergio Perez is facing that pressure, but he has the ability to turn it around. Here's six drivers who've done the same in the past 🧵👇

#F1 Pierre Gasly

After a promising start to his career at Toro Rosso, Pierre was promoted to the main Red Bull team in 2019

However, when he struggled to match the pace of new team mate Max Verstappen in the opening rounds, the squad soon demoted Gasly back to Toro Rosso 🔙

The record for the most Grand Slams in F1 has stood for 59 years, and might never be beaten. Here’s why 🧵👇

#F1 A Grand Slam is one of the hardest accolades to achieve in Formula 1. Earning it requires taking pole, fastest lap and victory, without ever losing the lead - even during a pit stop

A hat-trick is the same list of achievements, but without leading every lap. There have been 191 hat-tricks in F1… but just 68 Grand Slams. With 75 seasons of F1, on average it has been achieved less than once per season 😮

F1 🤝 The @Olympics

A handful of former F1 racers have competed across the Olympics, Winter Olympics and Paralympic games 🏋️‍♂️

A thread 🧵 Alex Zanardi - Handcycling

Zanardi has four gold medals and two silvers to his name following success at the London and Rio Paralympic Games 🏅

Zanardi took up handcycling when he returned to racing, after a heavy crash led to the amputation of his legs
