Craig Slater dons local dress as he gets into the spirit of the Azerbaijan GP while he lets us know about Lewis Hamilton’s possible retirement

Sky F1's Craig Slater is fully embracing the spirit of Azerbaijan ahead of this weekend's grand prix in Baku.

Craig donned some of the local dress as he delivered an update on the latest Formula 1 news to Sky Sports News HQ, including Lewis Hamilton's future in the sport.

He then headed to the most iconic part of the Baku circuit where it enters the historic part of the city next to the old city walls.

Here the track is just 7.6m wide and Craig got his tape measure out to show just how tight it will be for this year's wider cars to negotiate the narrow turn.
