Baku Formula 2 (Azerbaijan), 08:00 @ 26.09.2026

Baku arrives with the Formula 2 title race wide open. Nikola Tsolov leads Rafael Câmara by just seven points, with Gabriele Minì and Alexander Dunne still in contention. Two qualifying sessions, a Sprint and two Feature Races make this an unusually important weekend, where outright speed must survive the street circuit’s unforgiving walls.

The long straights create overtaking opportunities, while the narrow old-city section punishes the smallest mistake. With separate qualifying sessions setting the two Feature Race grids, consistent one-lap pace could prove decisive.

Baku F2 Prediction: Drivers to Watch

Câmara brings the strongest blend of championship form and recent qualifying speed, but Duerksen and Beganovic offer convincing alternatives. Their previous Baku performances add weight to impressive recent results.

  • Rafael Câmara: Second overall on 170 points. Pole at Monza and third in Madrid qualifying underline his ability to start near the front.
  • Joshua Duerksen: Won both Monza races before finishing fourth in Madrid. Last year’s Baku Feature Race runner-up has collected 48 points across the last two rounds.
  • Nikola Tsolov: Leads with 177 points, although just 10 points from Monza and Madrid have left his advantage vulnerable.
  • Dino Beganovic: Arrives after pole and victory in Madrid. His 2025 Baku Sprint win and Feature Race podium make him a compelling outsider.
  • Alexander Dunne: Fourth in the standings and second in Madrid’s Feature Race. A Baku Sprint podium last year adds to his case.
  • Gabriele Minì: Third overall on 153 points, but only six points across the last two rounds leave him needing a response.
Conclusion: Câmara looks the strongest contender, Duerksen has the momentum and Beganovic is the outsider worth watching. With Safety Cars and costly mistakes capable of reshaping any Baku race, podium markets offer a more measured approach than chasing the winner.

One caution is important here. Because this is an exceptional weekend with a Sprint and two Feature Races, check the precise settlement wording of any “Race Winner” market before placing a bet. The event does not follow F2’s normal two-race format.

Rafael Câmara Top 3

Odds 9/10

I’m keeping this simple. Câmara has been quick when it matters, with Monza pole, second in that Feature Race and third on the grid in Madrid. Two qualifying sessions suit a driver with that sort of one-lap consistency. I’d rather take the podium cover than ask him to win outright.

Dino Beganovic Top 3

Odds 3/1

This is the one I want at the bigger number. Beganovic arrives off pole and a dominant Madrid win, and last year he left Baku with a Sprint victory and a Feature Race podium. If that confidence carries over, he has the pace to make this price look very big.
