“We are still more than ten months away from lights out on the first ever Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and, while anticipation is already at fever pitch, I am sure Saudi Arabia’s passionate race fans can wait one week longer for the race that so many of us have already waited our whole lives for.”
-Prince Khalid bin Sultan Al-Faisal, president of Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation, said of Formula 1’s decision to rework the 2021 season calendar, which means delaying the dates of Formula 1 Jeddah street race by one week. Prince Khalid said he agrees with the decision, which “doesn’t do anything to quell the excitement and expectation around what promises to be a thrilling Saudi Arabian Grand Prix held at the deciding end of the season.” [Arab News]
