History

Plans for a permanent motorsports complex in the city of Qiddiya were made public in August 2019.

Plans for a race track in Qiddiya were formally revealed in January 2020 during an event at which track designer Wurz appeared with current and past Formula One drivers who were given the chance to drive the layout in a racing simulator. The circuit was verified to be built to FIA and FIM Grade 1 standards during the race. Formula One declined to comment at the moment on the potential of a race.

The initial draught of the 2021 Formula One provisional calendar, which was given to teams during a Formula One Commission meeting in October 2020, included the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. In November 2020, it was announced that the city of Jeddah, in partnership with the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation, would host the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with the Jeddah Corniche Circuit located along the Red Sea’s beach.

When the two title protagonists raced wheel-to-wheel, the Briton gave a flawless start, risked remaining out when he injured his front wing not once, but twice, and was undoubtedly the cooler and smarter of the two.
