We cant wait to celebrate with you again in Baku next June! In addition, he also commented on the reasons behind the change of the official event title to Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix: For our inaugural event, we wanted to position our country as a part of Europe, our race as a European one and also to showcase our European mentality to the world and demonstrate our countrys openness to foreign visitors who can easily visit and find comfort here. We now feel it is the right time to rename our race to the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. After last summers race, many F1 fans discovered that our society is closely linked to the European mentality but now we feel it is the right time to draw attention to the fact that the 2017 race is also set in Azerbaijan and will be named thereafter accordingly.

In an effort to gauge international reaction to last summers race in Baku, BCC tasked Nielsen Sports, formerly Repucom, with conducting two waves of research to measure the pre and post-race opinions and engagement of F1 fans with F1s newest race venue. Carried out across 16 core markets, the objectives of the survey were to gather insight from the international F1 audience with respect to their awareness, familiarity and enjoyment of the 2016 F1 race weekend in Baku. The findings were overwhelmingly positive with results indicating significant increases in all markets where people agreed that Baku was a welcome addition to the F1 calendar, in particular in Brazil, Spain and Finland. A desire to visit the city for the 2017 race was also indicated across most markets, with fans in Hungary, Russia and Finland especially revealing that they were most likely to attend the 2017 F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Furthermore, the inaugural F1 race weekend in Baku led to a sizeable increase in awareness of Azerbaijan, particularly in the USA, Hungary and Spain, while nearly all markets revealed a big decline in those saying they had never heard of Baku. Additionally, there was a significant increase in nearly all markets in relation to Azerbaijans appeal as an F1 venue, in particular in Germany, Spain and France. In terms of growth in awareness compared to the other race venues on the F1 calendar, the increase for Baku was 54pp wave on wave, the highest of all venues, and shows a major shift in international awareness after only one race weekend.
