F1 drivers enjoy time together on private plane on their way to Baku

In a photo taken by Valtteri Bottas and later shared on social media, George Russell and Gabriel Bortoleto can be seen facing off in a ping-pong match on the private jet en route to Baku.

Oscar Piastri, sitting next to the Mercedes driver, instead opted to enjoy some music through his headphones as he watched the game. The McLaren driver later reshared the photo on his Instagram Stories.

The Baku GP marks the seventeenth round of the 2025 Formula 1 season, as well as the final race to be held in Europe before the final stretch leading up to the season finale in Abu Dhabi. Here are the session times for the weekend.

Last weekend in Monza, fans and teams enjoyed bright, sunny conditions throughout all sessions, with the race also taking place entirely in dry conditions. In Baku, however, things could change slightly, with a light risk of rain expected in some sessions. Here are the full weather forecasts for the weekend at the moment.
