Organizer GP Baku: 'We want to prevent the events in Melbourne'

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix, after postponing the first six races, would be the season opener of 2020, but the organizer of the Grand Prix decided to postpone this race as well. According to Arif Rahimov, CEO of the organiser in Baku, the financial risk was too great to organize the race now. "After the events in Australia it all became a lot clearer", Rahimov tells Motorsport.com. "I guess it must have been a huge disappointment for the organizer, after all the hard work, time and money spent getting the event ready. All that preparation to cancel the race at the last minute".
