formula 1 with the championship 2021 actually located already on target plane, because they are only there until the end two races. Both will take place on the Arabian Peninsulaand the first is a newcomer to the royal motorsport calendar - Saudi Arabia.
Short presentation of the trail
At this time, we can say that works on the track they are still ongoing, although it is on the agenda today media day. There was a lot of speculation even about race cancellations, but both the organizers and the greats of Formula 1 (mainly because of the money) categorically denied it. There will probably be some unfinished part around the trail deftly concealed. They will be helped by the fact that the race will take place under the spotlights.
Street track in the city Jeddah along the Red Sea it contains many medium and fast turns and of course the planes where racers will be able to press to the fullest. Krog this street track is a long car 6,18 kilometers, which means that the second longest in the Belgian Formula 1 calendar Spa-Francorchamps. Judging by the simulations, this will be in view average speed on the circle too the second fastest track in Italian Monza.
The penultimate round of the Verstappen-Hamilton duel
Lewis Hamilton is with victories in Brazil and Qatar honestly pressed on Max Verstappen and made the command desk nervous Red Bull Racing. Which of them will have here with their work tools better options, it is difficult to say at the time, as one is simulations and the other reality on the trackabout which no one says anything anymore. A fresher engine might decide Hamilton? It will Red Bull on the initiative Honda decided to Verstappnu replaces the engine, so that he would have something fresher and more powerful in Abu Dhabi? Who is more suited to a path with bends and planes? There are no answers here that I can take for granted. We know only one thing: Max has before Lewis eight points of advantage.
Less exciting there may be a duel for third place design championship between Ferrari in McLarn. The team from Woking has won only in the last three races four points, but it should be added that not only through his own fault. Ferrari however, it is on the rise and after engine upgrade they seem reborn. Carlos Sainz in Charles Leclerc they are regular guests of the ten, which is for Lando Norris and above all Daniel Ricciard we cannot claim. After a double victory in Monza and the near repetition of the result in Sochi a crash followed.

Weather forecast Saudi Arabia
Let us say in the introduction that it rains in the city Jeddah within GP of Saudi Arabia we do not expect. Given the fact that there will be a track completed just before the start racing weekend, we can say thank goodness as an upgrade to last year’s race could happen GP of Turkeywhen they are also on the track in front of the event Istanbul renovated the asphalt surface and with this racer "gave" the right skating rink.
Conditions before the weekend GP of Saudi Arabia they look perfect. Free practice, qualifiers and the race will take place in dry conditions - if we look at current forecasts. Temperature will be all three days constant and will move during the day honey 28 and 31 degrees Celsius. At key moments of the weekend - qualifiers and race - will be slightly lower, which will be interesting to see who will be the best at tire management, as the teams have no preliminary data.
Tire compounds for Saudi Arabian GP
Pirelli is for a street race GP of Saudi Arabia in the city Jeddah opted for middle fold their products. This way, racers and teams will have a choice C2 (white mark), which will be a solid mixture here, C3 (yellow mark) which will be the middle mixture and C4 (red mark) which will be the softest mix of this racing weekend.
Mario isola, sports boss Pirelli"Jeddah is probably the biggest unknown we’re facing this year, as the track will be completed just before the start of the racing weekend. Consequently, we can only rely on simulations of Formula 1 and individual teams, along with other information we have chosen in preparing our tire compound nomination. This street track seems to be quite different from anything else and high speeds with very fast turns will obviously play a big part in tire behavior. Jeddah has more turns than any other track and the 13th turn also has a 12 degree incline, so there are many different elements that will affect the performance of the tires."
