OMG.. those legs.. Is the guy in the red shirt 'checking out' Bernie?

Noticed that Lewis was grinding his teeth during his interview. Has he always done that?

Track map

Blind corners
Full throttle 75%
Walls
with new asphalt.

Turn 1 prime spot for carnage.

Tire blowup will likely end with wall contact.

Alonso was the only driver to predict a clean weekend.

FORMULA 1 STC SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX 2021
CIRCUIT: Jeddah Corniche Circuit
LENGTH: 6.174km
CURVES: 27
RACE DISTANCE: 50 laps, 308.450km
RECORDS: /
PIRELLI SELECTION: C2, C3, C4

The first sector is characterized by a first extension, final of the last of the 3 DRS zones arranged around the circuit. 2nd sector is a series of medium-speed curves, with the only important braking zone preceding the complex of Turn 1-2.

T13 has banking of 12 degrees and considerable lateral forces, which will also put a considerable amount of stress on the tires. After a series of "kinks" at full throttle, a DRS area follows, curiously "wedged" between Curves 20-21 with the premise of bringing the cars closer together before T22-2 for overtaking opportunities.

In the last sector, another DRS area is set up from T25-27.

Easily done being where the start is to the first turn on the map, if it's only Alonso predicting no issues at the start then some contact or worse can be on the cards.

Yeah saw that too . Perhaps the Ferrari guy is high ...

Well... 'Bernie is 90 and she is 44 . As you can see , Bernie needs some help and I'm pretty sure in the bedroom as well ..

I'm so sorry Bernie !

Max has said that in previous races that he has overheated his tires...which when it happened, he said it forced him to go wide and off course. His not being able to control his car and stay on track certainly creates a problem for him at this venue.

Interesting ..

HAM was going extremely wide (with cold tyres) at Silverstone in the Copse turn while he rammed MAX in the wall .

HAM's dirty tricks , he even pushed Checo into the pitlane ..

The track will be cooling down when race starts at 20:30 their time.

That's why Fabiana is keeping up with him, she learns quick from F1 with the 'tow'

Lighting seems to be lacking around the track, shadowing, hot spots and dimly lit areas are noticeable. Promoter needs some axillary lighting and glare shields ASAP.

No doubt Max and Mazepin (he also has trouble staying on the track) are thankful for that.

Hilarious indeed (in Mazepin's case)

Indeed...as previously pointed out, drivers that have trouble keeping their car on the track will pay a penalty (contacting the walls).

Well, tyre warmers will still be needed and it's natural for the fastest cars to come close to overheating tyres.
