(MENAFN- AzerNews) The Formula 1 Qatar Airways Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2025 officially began at the Baku City Circuit with the performance of the national anthem of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Azernews reports.

This year, the anthem was performed by world-renowned mugham master and People's Artist of Azerbaijan, Alim Qasimov, alongside Fargana Qasimova. Their unique rendition was accompanied by a special stage composition and visual effects symbolizing the national tricolor flag.
