SOUNDBITE: (English) Azad Rahimov, Azerbaijan's Minister of Youth and Sports:

"Using the possibility for the city circuit it show our beautiful city and of course to bring to the people more interest into the sport, more interest into Formula and of course it is very important for our country, which is new in in the map of the world, to host a lot of guests coming for the different events and considering that this is a special fan group behind the Formula One to all the competition and I am glad to see all of them in Baku."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Azad Rahimov, Azerbaijan's Minister of Youth and Sports:

"Of course one of the most exciting moments is the high speed of the bullet (race car) which will be achieved 340-kmph because some of the race distances on the straight leads to the pilot to achieve this speed which I think is one of the biggest and interesting points of the Formula One. The second very important I think is (it is) an all-city circuit because the city around the old city walls is something special, We never see that in Monaco or in Singapore because the city is new with the old buildings but here we are touching the ancient part of the city which is also very interesting. Around the city wall there is a lot of beautiful buildings that were built in the 19th century and of course we have a chance to show the contemporary city - Baku, modern Baku with the city boulevard and that is the interesting point for Formula One."
