The Azerbaijan race saw a series of experimentations with various aerodynamic configurations. The Baku race track poses a great challenge for engineers and drivers to find the best setup regarding the ideal downforce level. The 6003m long circuit which is the fastest city track on the calendar, features two very different characteristics. The 2km long start-finish full throttle section requires mininum drag while the slower, technical inner section would welcome maximum downforce. Further complication is that downforce is also needed to generate heat into the tyres which can lose a significant amount of temperature on the never-ending main straight.
