The 17th round of the F1 season takes place around the Baku City Circuit, which hosts the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen will start from pole position, but has unusual company behind him with Carlos Sainz and Liam Lawson starting from second and third respectively.
There was no precipitation present at the circuit on Friday, however during the two-hour qualifying session, there were spits of rain.
It caused issues for some drivers as it made the track surface incredibly slippery.
On Sunday, there are set to be a few scattered showers, some even heavy, especially in the morning and early afternoon.
However, they are not expected to extend to the afternoon, meaning the 51-lap race is due to take place in dry conditions.
Temperatures will hover around 21°C, and the sun will peek through on occasion.
As was the case on Saturday, wind could play a big role in the race.
Gusts of between 50 and 60 km/h are forecast during the grand prix, which could create another headache for the drivers.
