Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2026: Preview & Race Guide
The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is, mile for mile, the fastest track on the F1 calendar. At 6.174 km in length with an average race speed exceeding 250 km/h, the cars reach over 320 km/h in some sections. Its 27 corners follow one another with barely a breather, demanding maximum concentration throughout the entire lap.
The 2026 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, originally scheduled for April 17-19 at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, was cancelled by Formula 1 along with the Bahrain Grand Prix due to the armed conflict in the Middle East that broke out in late February 2026. The calendar was reduced from 24 to 22 races. Round 5 of the World Championship therefore went unraced in 2026.
In the race, overtaking is difficult despite the three DRS zones, since the track's limited width penalizes whoever is following. Tyre strategy and the start from pole position carry disproportionate weight in the final result.
