The FIA has confirmed that two Straight Mode zones will be in use at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, marking the first time active aero will be used around the Baku City Circuit. The first zone covers the 2.2-kilometer main straight from Turn 19 to Turn 1, while the second applies to the shorter straight between Turns 2 and 3.
The Azerbaijan Grand Prix will take place on Saturday rather than Sunday to accommodate the country's Remembrance Day on September 27. Free practice sessions will be held on Thursday, with qualifying on Friday and the race moved to Saturday.
