Kimi Antonelli heads into this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix aiming for a third consecutive Formula One victory. Multiple outlets frame the race in Baku as a key opportunity for the Mercedes driver to extend a significant lead in the season’s title race.
The Azerbaijan round is presented as part of a potentially decisive stretch, described as the start of a triple-header sequence. Baku also remains a distinctive venue on the calendar: the race is the 10th edition in the city, having joined the series in 2016, and it was cancelled in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. While one outlet emphasizes Antonelli’s bid to keep building momentum toward consecutive wins, another highlights the size of his championship advantage entering the weekend, placing emphasis on how a further strong result could tighten his control of the standings.
