The Jeddah Corniche Circuit has 27 corners and is 6.175km in length, making it the second-longest circuit on the Formula 1 calendar behind Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, and the longest street circuit in the sport. Three consecutive sections of the circuit have been marked out as potential DRS Zones — where drivers can deploy drag reduction systems to increase top speed — ensuring plenty of overtaking opportunities.
Drivers are expected to record average speeds of 250kph, and stars such as Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen — currently locked in an epic battle for the 2021 championship — will hit top speeds of up to 322kph.
Join us later in the afternoon for the latest updates and results from the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, as the qualifying session for the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is about to get underway, with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc at the wheel of the SF21 ready to challenge for the best possible place on the grid ahead of tomorrow’s race in Saudi Arabia.
