Saudi Arabian Formula 1 Grand Prix 2021

After the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation and Formula 1 reached an agreement on a long-term partnership, the series will take to the streets of Jeddah for the first time in 2021. The 10 teams and 20 drivers will do battle along the banks of the Red Sea, as Saudi Arabia’s second biggest city offers a scenic backdrop that will now doubt add to what is set to be an exciting 2021 campaign.

While the race will be a street circuit, race organisers have said that there are plans to move the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix to a purpose-built track in the future. The final track layout has yet to be decided, but long straights and tight corners are expected with organisers excited by the opportunity to add another night race to the F1 calendar.
