BAKU (Reuters) - Formula One championship leader Nico Rosberg and McLaren's Jenson Button expressed concern on Thursday about the pit lane entry and lack of run-off areas at the new Baku street circuit.

Azerbaijan is hosting its first grand prix this weekend and the layout mixes the sport's longest straight, a 2.1km blast where cars reach around 340kph, and tight corners around medieval walls.
