Meet in Jeddah from April 18 to 20, 2025, for the fifth round of the 2025 F1 season.
The Saudi Arabia Grand Prix 2025, the fifth round of the F1 season, promises to be thrilling on the spectacular urban circuit of Jeddah. This atypical track, winding along the city’s Corniche, bordering the Red Sea, combines extreme speed with 27 technical turns. Despite its name as a “city circuit,” it stands out for its lightning-fast pace, with ultra-rapid sections that defy common sense. With an average lap speed exceeding 250 km/h, it is a track of all extremes!
Since its first edition in 2021, safety has been a key focus for this Grand Prix. Organizers have gradually modified the track to improve visibility in its fast sections, addressing concerns raised during its debut. In 2023, additional adjustments, such as moving the DRS detection point out of the braking zone, helped avoid the controversial strategic slowdowns observed in earlier editions.
A Night in Hell
In 2025, this night race, with a start scheduled at 8:00 PM, will once again offer a spectacle under the lights. The 6.174 km circuit will be covered 50 times, totaling 308.7 km of racing. This unique setup will test the resilience and strategy of the teams, as McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes, and Ferrari vie for victory.
Lando Norris hopes to bounce back from his missed weekend in Bahrain and reconnect with success against teammate Oscar Piastri, while Max Verstappen aims to extend Red Bull’s dominance at this Grand Prix, which the Austrian team has won at every edition. George Russell, known for his consistency at Mercedes, and Ferrari, seeking their first podium of the season, will also be worth watching.
The rivalry between Norris and Piastri, McLaren’s rising performance, and Verstappen’s resilience could lead to an exciting scenario right up to Sunday’s finish.
