The 2025 Formula 1 season continues this weekend with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, which will take place at the Baku City Circuit on Sunday.

Heading into the 17th race of the season, McLaren are at the top of the game, and the leaderboard. While Oscar Piastri leads the drivers' standings with 324 points with teammate Lando Norris a close second, McLaren have raced to 617 points and opened a 337-point lead over second-placed Ferrari.

The only driver who has challenged the McLaren dominance this term, is reigning champion Max Verstappen. The Dutch driver roared back to form in Monza, claiming victory at the Italian GP earlier this month.

The 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix race is finally here and for all your time, TV and streaming details, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
