BAKU (Reuters) - The Azerbaijan Grand Prix would like to move back to June from its current April slot on the Formula One calendar, race promoter Arif Rahimov said on Thursday.

"The weather (in June) is a bit more predictable, the build up is easier, you have less winds, less rains, it’s warmer overall," he told reporters ahead of Sunday’s race in Baku.
