The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is the longest street circuit ever in Formula 1 history. With a lap measuring 6.175 kilometres long, it beats the Baku Street Circuit by 100 meters. It was also the second-longest track after the Spa Francorchamps (7.004km) in the Ardennes on the 2021 Formula 1 calendar. The circuit was designed by Tilke Gmbh along with the Formula 1 sports division. During the simulations, the track was described as the fastest street track with an average speed of 250kph likely to be breached.   The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is built on a waterfront corniche in Jeddah overlooking the Red Sea. The 27 turn track could see speeds exceeding 322kph as the cars turn into the final corner. The Saudi Arabia Motorsport Federation President said that they are hosting the race to bring excitement. Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al Faisal said “We don’t want it to be one of those boring races where there is no overtaking.” True to his word, the top speed in the 2021 Grand Prix weekend was 330kph and the race was exciting enough.
