The future of this event is to be discussed -
F1 needs to discuss future of Saudi Arabian GP, say teams Formula 1 teams think there needs to be discussions after this weekend about the long-term future of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Jonathan Noble By: Jonathan Noble Mar 26, 2022, 9:25 AM “I think there was a missile attack during the FE race at the beginning of last year, and there were no worries about coming here at the end of last year. So the situation for this weekend hasn't changed at all. “I think the discussion should have been done before. And now will be after, but not during the event. As long as we have the confirmation that security is there, then we are safe.” Haas boss Gunther Steiner said: “It's not the moment to discuss if it is right or wrong to be here at all. I think that is coming in the future, and will be discussed. The FIA and FOM will look into it and then it will be decided what will be done. |

Interview with Otmar was very eye-opening, IMO. “Reasonable people make reasonable decisions when they all have the same information.” Quite the answer to Ehat made the drivers decide to stay and race?
He seemed much more uncomfortable when asked if the drivers/teams were told they wouldn’t be able to leave the country….

P3 showed these guys moving quick hitting the 1.29s, so I’m excited to see what times qualifying brings. Bottas was surprisingly quick. We will see how tire management and strategy affect the actual race, but this may be another RB vs Ferrari battle. Sounds so new and refreshing

I love the helmet cam. All the glare and whatnot to make it a Michael Bay movie. Add that this circuit is so narrow, it's just so...fast.

Saudi race in 2023 needs to disappear. I'm all for challenging tracks, fast tracks, etc.... But, the layout of this track is too dangerous IMO, even with some of the barriers pushed back. Saudi Arabia also has basically zero human rights laws, and the attack that happened on the Aramco oil depot 7 miles away is asking for problems, regardless of who launched the attack... Just an unsafe place to be. Anyway.............. Hoping for a Checo win!

The speeds reached at Monaco do not compare to the Jeddah circuit, and Singapore as adequate runoff. I said it last year, this track is sketch, they can bin this race.
