The Azerbaijan Grand Prix is a Formula One motor race that was held for the first time in 2017. It is held on the Baku City Circuit, a street circuit in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. The first Formula One race at the circuit, in 2016, was named the European Grand Prix.

The circuit was projected to be the fastest street circuit in the world, with a top speed close to 360 km/h. Valtteri Bottas claimed unofficial Formula 1 top speed record of 378.035 km/h (234.9 mph) in qualifying for the 2016 European Grand Prix. 

Mercedes's Nico Rosberg won European Grand Prix of 2016  while Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and Force India's Sergio Pérez finished second and third.

Since 2017 it was renamed to Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The race was notable for the crash between Sebastian Vettel and  Lewis Hamilton. Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull won the first place, Valtteri Bottas became second and Kimmi Raikkonen finished third.
