01R2: Bull's Preview
We’re back at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit for the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and round two of the season.
Jeddah has been a fairly happy hunting ground for us in the past. The Team is the most successful to race in Jeddah with more wins than any other. OK, there has only been three races here before, but we’ve won two of those! Max Verstappen won in 2022 and Sergio Pérez won last year, with Max coming home in P2.
The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is the second fastest track on the calendar – behind Monza – so lets dive into some stats about the speedy circuit:
- The average lap speed is 250km/h
- It’s the third longest track on the 2024 calendar at 6.174km per lap
- It boasts the most corners of all current tracks, with a grand total of 27 turns
- The Grand Prix will last 50 laps

Last year Jeddah was a good track for us so let’s hope we can do something similar.
Max VerstappenThe Team had a great first race of the season and I am looking forward to Jeddah, which is a proper high speed semi street circuit, seeing less degradation on the tyres. It is going to be a bit warmer too compared to Bahrain, so will be interesting to see the difference in performance between all teams, as the track layout is completely different to last week. Last year it was a good track for us so let’s hope we can do something similar and secure a great performance for the Team.

I am looking forward to heading to Jeddah this weekend after such a good Team result in Bahrain. Things weren't totally perfect in the first race and there is plenty of evolution to be done with the car but we have a good base to work from now. There is always plenty of action at this race and it could be a really tight one. Last year I had a great win and would love to repeat it.
