The high-octane F1 action continues apace as the driving stars and dazzling cars remain in the Middle East for the Saudi Arabian GP in Jeddah on April 20, which comes hot on the heels of the Bahrain GP. It’s been a thrilling and fascinating season to date and more edge-of-your-seat action is expected at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. If you’ve never been to a grand prix, or are eagerly awaiting to go to another, this could be the perfect moment to secure a ticket and experience/re-experience the F1 frenzy. Like Bahrain, the Saudi Arabian GP is a night race which further adds to spectacle with the lights illuminating the track and the city skyline. The temperatures are substantially cooler at night too which is a godsend for some.

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix may be one of the newest additions to the F1 schedule, with the inaugural edition taking place just four years ago, but it’s already established itself as one of the most anticipated races on the calendar. It’s the fastest street circuit raced on during the year, with the cars averaging around 250 km/h (160 mph) and is a favourite of both drivers and fans. There are talks that the Grand Prix may move from its current Jeddah location in the near future, so if you’ve been yearning to check out the breathtaking Corniche Circuit with its stunning views of the Red Sea, there’s no better time than now to finalise those plans.
As well as getting to watch the exhilarating on-track action, a ticket to the Saudi Arabian GP also unlocks additional entertainment opportunities. All the various tickets guarantee entry to the spectacular fireworks displays and post-race concerts, which feature some huge global music stars. This year, Usher and Jennifer Lopez are performing over the race weekend. For those seeking more than just high-speed excitement on the track, the circuit's numerous ‘Fan Zones’ offer a wide range of leisure activities for all ages and interests too.
Although there have only been four previous Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Red Bull Racing have proved to be a dominant force in Jeddah. Their drivers have claimed honours in each of the last three editions with Max Verstappen securing wins in both 2022 and 2024 and Sergio Perez topping the podium in 2023. Lewis Hamilton won the inaugural race in 2021 for Mercedes. A good spot on the grid has been a key factor in previous editions with all four winners of the race having started from pole position.

Where is the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025 held?
Getty Images SportThe Saudi Arabian Grand Prix takes place in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah. The city comes alive during race weekend, with a fun-filled festival atmosphere, interactive fan experiences and live performances. Jeddah is a modern commercial hub, as well as being a gateway for pilgrimages to the Islamic holy cities Mecca (65km to the east) and Medina (360km to the north). It is one of the most popular places to visit in Saudi Arabia and is the country's second-largest city after Riyadh. With its cosmopolitan culture, world-class cuisine, and commercial venues, Jeddah has much to offer the modern-day tourist.
Given Jeddah’s close proximity to the Red Sea, fishing and seafood dominate the food culture, unlike in other parts of the country. Centred around a remarkable and unique Old Town district, Jeddah stretches for miles along the coast, providing numerous beautiful beaches and a modern waterfront area. The 18-mile Corniche, a mix of promenade and coastal road, contains walking and cycling paths and two of the city’s most famous structures, the floating Al Rahma Mosque and King Fahd’s Fountain. Jeddah’s streets house a whole host of traditional markets, city-focused museums and contemporary art galleries. Those looking for more adrenaline-fuelled activities can go jet-skiing or head inland to the desert instead and try sandboarding or go on dune buggy rides.
