JEDDAH CORNICHE CIRCUIT
Quick corners
The Jeddah circuit is one of the quickest on the Formula 1 calendar, with average lap speeds in excess of 250 km/h, which is surprising given it has no fewer than 27 corners, the most of any track used in the championship.
Low load
The Jeddah circuit requires a rather specific aerodynamic configuration. Despite its 27 corners, the cars run with low aero downforce levels to get the best possible top speed. That’s partly because, from turns 8 to 12, the drivers never touch the brake pedal.
