Having fans during a Grand Prix weekend can make the atmosphere exciting. Last year fans weren’t allowed to a race due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Now in 2021, as things are gradually opening, F1 can welcome back supporters to the grandstands. With the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix this weekend, how many spectators are expected to be present for round twenty-one of this season?

With it being the first Formula One race, a huge crowd could be expected at the Jeddah circuit.

The Jeddah circuit was added to this year’s F1 calendar as other venues were marred with uncertainty. Previously, only 40 percent of fans were allowed for the Grand Prix, but following the rules implemented by the Kingdom, it is expected to host the Grand Prix at full capacity.

The race will be held at the Jeddah circuit from the 3rd to the 5th of December. With an intense title fight between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen, a huge crowd is all but guaranteed.

Apart from the exciting race, Justin Bieber, David Guetta, ASAP Rocky, Jason Derulo, and Tiesto will put on a show. This will surely make the event even more exciting for the fans.
