An F1® Guide to the Baku City Circuit

  Turn-by-Turn Guide to the Baku City Circuit Few venues in motorsport demand as much versatility, bravery, and mechanical compromise as the Baku City Circuit .   Carved into the Azerbaijani capital on the shores of the Caspian Sea , this 6.003 km layout is Formula 1’s ultimate Jekyll and Hyde: an ultra-narrow medieval maze spliced with a 2.2 km full-throttle drag strip where top speeds eclipse 360 km/h. Baku demands a razor's-edge balance between low-drag straight-line speed  and high-downforce street precision.

Formula 1® Grand Prix Du Canada 2026

The Montreal Melting Pot: Power Units and Paddock Pressure

With the Canadian Grand Prix just two days away, the atmosphere on Montreal's man-made island is an electric wash of excitement.

At Senate Grand Prix, we rely on real-time facts and the exclusive, award-winning trackside photography of James Moy to cut through the paddock noise, and this week the noise has been louder than ever, making a prediction very difficult to call.

However, the true test will be how these chassis adapt to the FIA's radical 50/50 power unit split—a delicate dance between the internal combustion engine and increased electrical deployment.

The Intra-Team Pressure Cooker

  • The Silver Arrows: While Kimi Antonelli’s romantic, record-breaking run has stunned the world, George Russell arrives in Canada with a point to prove. 

  • The grid isn't big enough for two alpha drivers, and Russell will be looking to re-establish his territory as the long-standing driver at Mercedes.

Charles Leclerc

  • The Scarlet Stable: The data heavily favours Charles Leclerc, whose younger, razor-sharp adaptation to the SF-26 leaves Sir Lewis Hamilton hunting for answers—and his first win in red. 

  • Hamilton loves Montreal, but he needs to close the garage gap fast, as his fans are now looking for his Montreal Magic!

Alongside Isack Hadjar, Red Bull is desperate to transform their upgrade package into raw race wins. 

Meanwhile, current World Champion Lando Norris has his McLaren absolutely nailed on, flanking teammate Oscar Piastri in a devastatingly balanced lineup, so watch out, Mercedes, perhaps the fight is now on from Zak Brown.

With unpredictable weather and the brutal "Wall of Champions" looming, Montreal promises a classic, multi-team dogfight.
