F1 LIVE | Media day in Saudi Arabia

The FIA press conference 

Lance Stroll, Charles Leclerc, Nico Hulkenberg, George Russell, Yuki Tsunoda, and Valtteri Bottas will attend the press conference. Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, and Fernando Alonso will answer some questions but not in the official press conference.

We can expect some questions on the future of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after new plans emerged on Tuesday. There will also be some questions on the latest allegations against FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem. And of course, drivers will review their weekend in Bahrain before giving their expectations in Jeddah.

The 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

The fourth edition of the Saudi GP will be held on a street circuit in the port city of Jeddah. This circuit was designed by Carsten Tilke, the son of Hermann Tilke. It is the first circuit to come from son Carsten for Formula 1.

Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al Faisal, who can be held responsible for bringing Formula 1 to Saudi Arabia, had a clear task for Tilke: It must not become a street circuit like Monaco. The prince wanted to overtake Baku's title as the fastest street circuit in the world. After previous editions, we can say that he succeeded.

However, it is intended that F1 will eventually move to Qiddiya. Until recently, this was an empty spot in the desert outside the capital, Riyadh, but the Saudis have big plans for it. A city is being built here that is completely dedicated to entertainment, with golf courses, amusement parks, and a race circuit.
