The 2025 Saudi Arabian GP will once again be hosted at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on the banks of the sea. The race will be the fifth of the 2025 season and would mark the end of the first triple-header which began in Japan and moved to Bahrain last weekend.
The track in Jeddah is the third longest on the calendar behind Spa and Las Vegas and is the fastest street circuit in the world. The track is arguably one of the toughest for the drivers due to its high-speed nature and requires unrelenting focus. It is also one of the most dangerous owing to its fast nature and lack of run-off areas between the corners.
For the 2025 edition of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, F1 teams like Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull would look to close the gap to McLaren under the lights. The Woking-based outfit have been the pick of the bunch and leads the others by a distance in both championships.
Trending
The reigning constructor's champions have won three out of four completed races in the 2025 season and showcased their prowess in warmer conditions in Bahrain last weekend, where they were the class of the field on a different track layout.
However, in the past four years of the Saudi Arabian GP, McLaren has struggled at the track and have been behind teams like Ferrari and Red Bull. But they would look to bring in their first victory in Jeddah to continue on their winning run this year.
