The Baku track is very interesting, Felipe Massa, a Brazilian Formula 1 driver, who currently drives for the Williams team, told Trend June 16.

Massa will participate in the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe to be held in Baku June 17-19.

The driver said he became familiar with the track and believes that it is similar to those in Monaco, Sochi (Russia) and Monza (Italy).

"The track is very interesting and for the present, it is unclear what to expect from it," said Massa. "In general, I believe that the races will be interesting."

The F1 driver said he hasn't yet become familiar with Baku, but the first impressions from the city are good.

"There are many welcoming and friendly people here," he said. "It is great that such a city was included in the F1 calendar."
