Plans to return the Azerbaijan Grand Prix to a June date slot in 2020 have been “complicated” by Baku’s hosting of the UEFA European Football Championship next year, according to promoter Arif Rahimov.
The promoter for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix is keen to see the Formula 1 race return to a summertime slot on the calendar in 2019 after being brought forward to April this year.
Baku will continue to play host to Formula 1 for at least two more years despite speculation it could be replaced by Miami for 2019, with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix promoters working to revise the terms of the existing contract for a longer-term deal.
