Baku, Azerbaijan, June 16
By Maksim Tsurkov - Trend:
The Formula One Grand Prix of Europe in Baku will be especially interesting, Daniil Kvyat, a Toro Rosso driver, told Trend June 16.
"The F1 track in Baku looks very interesting, it is extraordinary and there are many unusual sections," said Kvyat. "There are very slow and very fast sections, there are very long straight and narrow turns, therefore it will be necessary to find a compromise and a balance."
"The track's part running along the Old City walls seems to be its most difficult section," said Kvyat, adding that only one car can pass through that section and the speed there will be around 60-80 km/h.
Baku is a very interesting city, said the F1 driver, adding there are beautiful buildings and it is clean everywhere.
Kvyat said he arrived in Baku June 14, but got acclimated in a short time and is ready for the race.
The 2016 Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe to be held in Azerbaijan for the first time will start June 17 at 18:00 (GMT + 4 hours). The European Grand Prix will be held over 51 laps on the new circuit of slightly over 6 kilometers. The maximum estimated speed at the race is 340 km/h.
