Baku wants a June race date and revised F1 contract


MONACO (Reuters) - Azerbaijan wants to return to a June slot on the Formula One calendar and is trying to renegotiate its contract post-2020 so that it pays less in race-hosting fees and gains more commercial benefits.

Promoter Arif Rahimov told reporters at the Monaco Grand Prix that the current contract was a binding commitment for five races from 2016 but with a break clause before a subsequent five.
