The 2024 calendar is the most expansive and perhaps the most exhausting in Formula 1’s history. The 24-race season will see the sport visit all familiar venues across the coming year. However, F1 has become more accommodating, which is why we have already witnessed a schedule change for the season opener in Bahrain. Now let us talk about the second race of the season–the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
We are blessed with a triple header in the first month of the F1’s return. To make it sweeter, we have two back-to-back race weekends and the second on the list, after the race in the desert, is a race in the suburbs of Jeddah. The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is ready to host its fourth Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. However, this year’s edition has some scheduling changes.
