Jeddah Corniche Circuit
About the track
Jeddah Corniche Circuit is the fastest street circuit in Formula 1 history, where the average lap speed exceeds 250 km/h. Narrow corridors lined with concrete barriers leave no margin for error at such breathtaking speeds - driving here is compared to flying through a tunnel. The night race on the shores of the Red Sea offers a spectacular visual setting, though the track draws controversy due to the level of risk. Fast, blind corners require drivers to have absolute trust in their car and perfect knowledge of the circuit. The inaugural race in 2021 delivered one of the most dramatic battles in history between Hamilton and Verstappen. The combination of extreme speed with the street circuit character makes the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix one of the most spectacular and controversial races of the season.
