The Jeddah Corniche Circuit, where the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix was held last weekend, is one of the street circuits on the Formula 1 calendar. With high speeds and F1 cars running close to the walls, qualifying seems to be a spectacle every year. But is this circuit in the top three for drivers Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez this season?
Verstappen is not a fan of racing at a lot of street circuits. "I'm probably the least of the supporters of street circuits sitting here, but I think from all the street circuits, I think it's definitely a really cool one and a demanding one. That's for sure. But I'm still in favour of the historic tracks," the Dutchman explained.
Leclerc and Perez find Jeddah a fun track
Leclerc highly rates the circuit. "I've always been a huge fan of city tracks. Jeddah is such a challenging one. It’s definitely on my top four list. Monaco, Singapore, and Baku, together with Jeddah, are my four favourite tracks of the season," explained the Monegasque driver.
Perez, who is often seen as the "king of street racing" is also a fan. "Given my track record here so far, it's definitely one of my favourites. I really enjoy street racing and it's one that demands a lot of the drivers through qualifying and through the race. Even when you finish qualifying, you are quite exhausted. It takes everything out of the driver."
