Formula 1 will travel to Saudi Arabia for the first time in 2021. Construction of the brand new circuit in Jeddah is in full swing and race organizers have revealed the first renders of the new pit complex.

On December 5, 2021, Saudi Arabia will host its first Grand Prix. The circuit will be built on the Red Sea and will feature as many as 27 corners. The organizers are hoping for a super-fast circuit, which will allow it to take the title of fastest street circuit off of Baku.

Pit building represents the race

Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al Abdullah Al Faisel, President of the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation unveiled the new renders, giving a brief explanation at F1.com: "The Pit Building stands as a symbol of all that this race represents: welcoming, modern and spectacular."

"With only six months to go until the pinnacle of motorsport reaches Saudi Arabia, preparations are progressing at an incredible rate as our dedicated team gears up for the first-ever Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. We can’t wait to welcome you to Jeddah next December."
