Lando Norris: "I'm pumped to be back racing this weekend in Baku. Street circuits bring a different challenge, and I can't wait to get out there and put myself to the test. I've been back at MTC, working hard to be in the best position to go for another win."

Oscar Piastri: "I've got extremely fond memories of Baku last year. I regard that as one of my favourite races ever and it's always an advantage coming back to a track where you've had a big result.

"My only focus is achieving more of the same this weekend. I am leading the Drivers' Championship and I am very happy with where my driving is."

Andrea Stella: "Heading into the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, we are preparing for all the variables of a tricky, unpredictable street race. Baku is a technically challenging circuit and also demands extreme precision from the drivers.

"It's an event which still holds special relevance for us, as the race where we took the lead in the Constructors' Championship last year and Oscar took an exciting race win. While competition remains close with multiple teams contending for victories, we remain focused on own performance and feel well prepared for the weekend ahead."

"A race memory to cherish. Piastri's race last year can be explained in one word....mega. I don't think that I've ever been on the edge for so many laps. I was literally exhausted by the end. Leclerc threw everything he had in a fabulous great lengthy battle, of itself a great drive by Charles. One can only hope that Piastri gets the opportunity to win with no team orders to muddy the waters this weekend."
