The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is the fastest street circuit in F1, with an average speed exceeding 250 km/h. Its 27 corners flow together almost like a permanent circuit, with high-speed sweeps separated by concrete walls. The narrow confines and blind corners make it one of the most demanding tracks on the calendar.
Saudi Arabia's first Grand Prix took place in Jeddah in 2021 as part of the country's push to host major sporting events. The circuit runs along the Red Sea corniche and was built in record time. Its inaugural races were among the most controversial and dramatic in modern F1 history.
Hamilton and Verstappen collided multiple times in a chaotic title-deciding race featuring red flags, penalties, and accusations of brake-testing.
Max Verstappen controlled the race from pole position, continuing his dominant form from the previous season.
An incredible last-lap duel saw Verstappen use DRS to pass Leclerc on the main straight, snatching victory at the line.
