Baku, Azerbaijan · 6 stands compared
Best for Best overall (and joint best action) — overtaking seekers who also want the start, pit stops and podium
High rows of Section E sit at the Turn 1 end of the main grandstand, adding the lap's biggest braking-and-overtaking zone to the start, pit-lane action and podium in front of you.
Best for Overtaking and incident seekers, and photographers who can't afford Absheron Section E
Beside Azneft Square on the waterfront, this stand looks onto the 90-degree Turn 16 braking and exit — heavy braking, lock-ups and lunges at the lap's second-best overtaking corner.
Best for Best for first-timers — families and comfort seekers wanting grid, podium and the circuit's only roofed seats
The central sections of the main grandstand are the ceremony end — grid, pit stops and podium — and the only partially covered seating at Baku, making them the comfort play for a 15:00 start.
Best for Joint best for action — close-up braking drama and photography at Turn 16
Sitting inside Turn 16 at the heavy braking point, Filarmoniya gives the circuit's closest view of cars shedding speed into the lap's second overtaking corner.
Best for Best value — budget buyers, families and first-timers who want a screen plus raw speed
An infield stand on the main straight where cars flash past at 340+ km/h in DRS trains and slipstream battles — the cheapest credible seat with a screen at the circuit.
Best for Atmosphere plus a bit of action on a budget-to-mid ticket
On the seafront boulevard at the final corner, Bulvar shows cars braking, rotating and firing onto the main straight at the second DRS activation point.
