A shake-up to the schedule means the race will be held on Saturday rather than Sunday this weekend but it will normal service where Kimi Antonelli is concerned?
The Italian has an 81-point lead at the top of the Drivers' Championship after wins in Monza and Madrid – and is on course to become the youngest world champion in the sport's history.
There is still plenty of racing to come, however, and he would not be the first driver to come undone at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
It's set to be another thrilling race weekend and UK viewers can tune in to extensive coverage.
