F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix weather forecast - latest from Baku

This weekend's first Azerbaijan Grand Prix will be the first autumnal race of the season in the Northern Hemisphere as the F1 bandwagon prepares to enter the final part of the campaign.

While Kimi Antonelli and Mercedes look set to take glory by the end of the year, there is still much to look out for. Can Max Verstappen get his first win? Is there any fight left in Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari? Will Aston Martin ever look like coming good?

Not all of those questions will be asked in Baku this weekend for what is round 15 of the world championship at a track that has offered its fair share of entertainment and highlights over the years but the weather add some extra spice to this event.

Here is a look at the latest weather forecast for the sessions at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, which will continuously be updated up until and including race day.
