Formula 1 will head back to Baku this coming weekend and this latest quiz will test your knowledge about who started the first ever race around Azerbaijan.
This race was labelled as the European Grand Prix in 2016, but theAzerbaijan Grand Prixhas been a popular feature on the calendar ever since its introduction midway through the 2010s.

The races around Baku have not disappointed since, but the first grand prix run around the circuit could arguably have been the most processional with a dominant victory taken in comfortably the quickest car that season.
But your challenge in this F1 quiz is not to remember how good the race was, but to name who was on the grid that day.
Plenty of the names there in Baku are still on the grid today, but there is one fewer team and a few drivers who have moved on to other motorsport ventures that you may have forgotten about.
Once you have finished this quiz, have a go at another – and it’s another quick one, in trying to甲型肝炎的九个制造商名称e supplied tyres in Formula 1in its history.
And you will know this by now, but if you are yet to give it a go, trySportword. It’s Planet Sport’s edition of the word guessing game, with six attempts to find a different Formula 1-related word every day.
But as for Baku in 2016, you only have five minutes to get all 22 drivers. Best of luck!
