The Jeddah Corniche Circuit was built along the Red Sea waterfront for Saudi Arabia's first Grand Prix in 2021. Its extremely fast street layout received visibility and barrier changes after the debut, while retaining the rapid sweeps that define it.
The inaugural 2021 race became a tense chapter in the Hamilton-Verstappen title fight, featuring red flags, restarts, contact and penalties before Hamilton won. Sergio Pérez later claimed his first Formula 1 pole here in 2022.
Across 6.174 km, its 27 corners create a distinct rhythm between braking, precision and acceleration. As a street circuit, it asks drivers and teams to adapt setup, tyre management and race strategy to the venue's particular constraints, while its anti-clockwise direction shapes the sequence of its most demanding sectors.
