On a more personal note, Esteban Ocon is gearing up for an emotional milestone as he approaches his 150th Formula 1 race at this year's Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The French driver, who has shown remarkable resilience and determination in his career, aims to finish his stint with the Alpine team on a high note. Ocon's journey from a rookie to a seasoned driver reflects the incredible journey many athletes undergo, and fans will no doubt rally behind him as he hits this significant career landmark.
As we gear up for this exciting event, let’s not just focus on the racers. Did you know that the Azerbaijan Grand Prix is the only Formula 1 race that takes place on a street circuit in Europe? This unique characteristic adds another layer of unpredictability to the race, as drivers must navigate through the city streets at high speeds — one slight misjudgment can lead to disaster! Also, Baku's stunning backdrop, combining modern architecture with ancient history, makes it one of the most picturesque venues on the calendar.
