The Formula 1 pack face “a very unpleasant race” in the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with the considerable physical and mental demands placed on the drivers by the Jeddah layout.
That’s the view of Red Bull driver Sergio Perez, but it’s echoed by his F1 peers. It all centres on the 3.84-mile street track having an average speed of 155mph, with the close-proximity walls requiring additional levels of concentration and precision.
Some tracks you can relax a bit on the straight or whatever, but here the straights most of them are not even straights. “You're constantly turning – pulling G – so your body doesn't have a lot of rest.” Verstappen also claims bumps in the track surface impact driver vision, although his specific example of Turn 22 is disputed by Lando Norris, who says “it's fine – there's way bumpier circuits that we go to”, and his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri.
