Moderate Winds Set to Spice Up the Second F1 Weekend at Saudi Arabian GP

F1 is returning to Saudi Arabia for the second time in four months. It will host the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix for only the second time in its history. Last season, when F1 visited the Jeddah international circuit, it was an unforgettable race. It was a pivotal race that was filled with controversy and excitement throughout the two hours.

Jeddah international circuit is the fastest street circuit in the world. But this time the circumstances are different as F1 is going to the country at the start of the season. But since F1 is staying in the Middle East, the weather conditions would be very similar to the Bahrain Grand Prix last week.

Many have reported that it would be a windy weekend once again with the conditions staying similar on all three days. As reported by F1.com, we might see winds up to the speed of 60 km/h throughout the weekend. Below are the weather predictions for the Saudi Arabia GP:

Friday: 25 degrees. Hot and sunny, but with the strong wind with gusts of 60kph. The temperature is decreasing in the evening.

Saturday: 28 degrees. Dry and sunny. Strong Northerly wind increasing in the afternoon along the corniche. Gusts up to 60kph. Decreasing wind in the evening.

Sunday: 31  degrees. Sunny. Decreasing wind expected and hottest temperature compared to Saturday.

“I’m excited to be back at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. It’s a cool track and extremely quick for a street circuit. It kept us on our toes last year and it will be great to see how the 2022 cars run here. We’re going into this weekend with our heads held high,” said Lando.
