Formula One is geared up to race in the Saudi Arabia GP in Jeddah. F1 has called the circuit the fastest street circuit in the sport. The track has high-speed corners and with 27 corners, it has the most for any circuit. Former F1 driver and Sky Sports pundit Martin Brundle mentions that most of the corners on the track aren’t even corners for an F1 car.
Brundle took to social media to express his views on the latest and newest circuit on the F1 calendar.
New Jeddah F1 track is going to significantly reward the brave and accurate. Multiple series of very high speed corners between walls where there’ll absolutely be no small accidents. 27 turns of which about 14 will be recognised by an F1 car, but there’s peril everywhere pic.twitter.com/lNPpZ6bJ1s
