As construction on the new site in Qiddiya continues, the Saudi Arabian GP is set to stay at the Jeddah F1 circuit for several more years. Full story:
Saudi Arabia hosted its first F1 race in 2021 at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, which was intended to be a temporary home for the grand prix before moving to the new-build city of Qiddiya on the outskirts of Riyadh.
"The Qiddiya automotive centre is being designed to lead the world in Formula 1 circuit design and entertainment. A unique and exciting project, Qiddiya will be a location that everyone will want to visit. But Whitaker maintained that the exact timing of the grand prix and placement on the calendar was still to be confirmed through talks with F1 and the FIA.
It prompted meetings into the early hours of Saturday between drivers and team bosses about potentially cancelling the rest of the weekend, only for safety assurances to be put in place and for the weekend to continue.Talks took place between the race organisers and drivers last year to discuss the issue ahead of the 2023 race, with Whitaker saying that safety remained of"paramount importance to everyone who attends the race.
