The big problem with Jeddah is that it's a regular circuit pretending to be a street track to get away with not having runoffs or adequate safety. You can't build a perfectly smooth racetrack purposely for 1 specific race and then call it a street track, it's just bullshit. Also the tunnels of catch fencing are hideous and disorienting.

The racing problem is Jeddah was rushed in as a ‘temporary track’ on a piece of land that one day will be too valuable for a racetrack, but it now seems it’ll be here for a few more years. The FIA has done more than hand wave its safety rules for “the fastest street circuit in the world” and allowed some very 1980s barrier solutions to be used. The concrete walls need to go, the cost is not an issue here.

I think if the "DRS chicken" continues or worsens throughout the season, they should consider changing to 1 or maximum 2 DRS zones per track, for example in Jeddah it's only 1 corner between 2 of the DRS zones so if you pass before turn 27 you get re-passed immediately on the next straight. If there was a full lap between DRS zones, you wouldn't consider purposefully giving up position, but it'd still allow an opportunity for cars closely following. This isn't to say DRS needs changing, but I can see it possibly getting stupid and dangerous later this season, and I think if it does, then increasing the distance between consecutive DRS zones would stop dangerous manoeuvres.

The race was amazing. One thing to mention is that it also shows how hopefully different the strategies will be moving forward. Bahrain was 3 stops and this was 1. It might show that on old surfacing, the tyres degrade much faster, no matter how hard they are. This track is very new, so lenient on the tyres. It might be that we're now getting exciting 1 stop races and boring 3 stop races, as the cars might not be able to push and overtake as frequently due to tyre wear.

Agreed pretty much with all you points, but I don't think there isn't anything wrong with DRS as you put it. It has become part of the driver's toolkit and isn't much different from the "boosts" used in Formula E. Maybe we can have even more (strictly regulated) active aero devices in the future to prevent high-speed bouncing, or even aero-braking.

Honestly, I LOVE the track itself. Seeing the drivers do those fast flowing corners is incredible. BUT! Every single outside wall needs to be pushed like 20 meters back. Same situation as Eau Rouge really. Great corner, shitty barrier.

or the lack of a call about Perez crossing the SC line second and Redbull keeping him ahead at the restart to protect Max. Those kinds of things feel like things that the computers should flag up the stewerds and it should take all of 30 seconds to hit the approve button. Basically Automated system detects two cars crossing the SC line too close together. Flags it, sends race control the car numbers, the order it thinks the crossing happened, the current order of the cars, and a slow-mo replay vide from parallel along the SC line. Bonus points for a link to the regs section(s) that apply to what it's flagging. Basically the same thing as the speeding in the pit lane.

Great nuanced video.

Seems like reducing the dirty air behind the cars is also reducing the overall air pressure behind the cars (go figure), and so decreasing the slipstream effect. At the moment, its hard to say if being able to follow closer before a straight is actually better this year than last, due to the lack of slipstream effect. Is it better, worse or about the same? i.e. you can get twice as close, before the straight, but only catch half as quickly going down it. It'll take time to tweak this stuff, though.

The actual race, besides of almost half the grid having engine problems and the shoddy camera work, didn't make too much of a impact in comparison to what happened since FP1 until the end of qualifying. FIA will have now so many critics, from both inside and outside the sport.

Last year the cars had way more drag and therefore the DRS was reducing drag by (for example) 20%. Now with all the underfloor downforce and the top side cleaned up the rear wing makes almost all the aero drag. So when you open that up they are getting ( for example) 50% less drag.

Great video as always. I definitely agree with a lot of the points especially with the tyres looking like they got the balance right there. I also agree that DRS was just too powerful there. While these new cars have done a lot for improving following through the corners, this has taken away their ability to slip stream down the straights as well (something my head has not got used to as I keep expecting cars to close up when they get a good drive out of the corner). This means that we aren't quite ready to get rid of DRS yet but it does need to be looked at to get the balance right. This is only the second race of the new era so there is plenty of time to rebalance the equation and get it right. Overall looks like the sport is going in the right direction on track. Off track however... There is a lot to talk about. It is still letting itself be played by brutal dictatorships. It's time F1 has a long hard look at itself and who it associates itself with.

let me give one opinion for what it's worth. Apparently American wrestling was effectively held hostage at the airport when they didn't put on a show one time. I got that vibe from the f1 teams, that they had little choice but to keep the event going. Now they had a good race but, now that drivers and teams are out of Saudi Arabia safely, they should refuse to go back. They were able to cancel Russia despite contracts. The same can be done to Saudi for the safety of teams & drivers.

I wonder if more information will come to light about the drivers' desire to cancel the race. I got the impression that they were forced to race against their will, which would indeed be very concerning.

Also a lot of info has come to light about a dispute that WWE had with the Saudi government and the sketchy way that situation went down.

I'm very inclined to think DRS should be a bit nerfed now. I think there's a chance the cars being able to race closer and keep so much of their downforce puts the DRS in a position where it can crucially tip the balance back and forth between a much wider range of cars than it did, such that most battles between reasonably level cars will turn into an artificial Arnoux Vs. Villeneuve -- yes, I'm arguing too much of a good thing might be bad in this specific scenario, because of the artificiality.

that bit for Australia in the end.

We are not searching for the perfect country to race at. Just not the absolute worst like Saudi Arabia. It’s like everything in life: if you wait for only the perfect solution, nothing happens.

DRS chicken will only be a "problem" with consecutive DRS zones and when the 2 drivers playing chicken have a considerable gap to the next driver. THIS WAS THE BEST RACE SO FAR

An idea might be to change the behaviour of the detection zones. Perhaps the detection should begin at the start of the DRS zone itself. It's hard to control your speed as you speed up rather than while decelerating, preventing DRS chickening as we're calling it 🐔

Why is everyone talking about making DRS zones shorter? Just make it weaker, make the opening panel smaller. It should just about get you next to the other car at the end of the zone, so you'd still have to rely on a better line/ later braking/ using the battery to get past someone.

You know what f1 wants more than great f1 racing -- money. Thats why they are in middle east

I do think there are improvements to be made to this Saudi street circuit. But I still hold to the belief that this really is Monaco but a big step faster.

or make the gap that opens much closer than it currently is when DRS is opened up

1. Don’t paint a DRS detection line 2. Shorten long DRS zones

Don’t remove DRS, give everyone DRS, on every straight except the race leader. Also, introduce banana peels and blue spiny shells.

Well said about the relationship between F1 and oppressive regimes mate. Bit of an iffy one that.

Saudia Arabia seems to be pushing to get involved in alot of professional sports of late. Professional Wresting, Golf, F1, and even E-sports. I think its mostly PR rehabilitation.

Instead of removing DRS zones why not change DRS activation rules to allow the leader to also open the rear wing if the threatening car is within 0.2 seconds?

Got a really big rug down here in Aus, and plenty of people to man the brooms. Should be right

Too many people who have nothing better to do but complain, just enjoy the racing at it’s purest whilst having element of danger

Great video (I'm Australian)

if this track was in open space like bahrain with a little elevation change and runoffs it would be half decent

Almost every country has its current of recent problems, if we only went with politics we would have about 4 races a season

You may argue about the unsuitability of the track all you like, but no track is dangerous and impractical enough for F1 to quit sportswashing dictators and their murderous regimes. The gall of Domenicali who was practically claiming to be there because F1 is an integral part of bringing social progress to Saudi Arabia was sickening. Edit: ok I underestimated you and posted before the end of the video. You do make mention of some of it and other problematic races. Kudos for not being part of the problem.

It would be a great track with gravel all around it. Not that crap modern runoff.

Not having the DRS detection zone near a braking zone would help stop the shenanigans.

Living in america, you have no idea how much I long for the days when news was boring and dull. "News" now adays is literally just talking heads yelling lies at you to try and get you upset.

Maybe we could disable DRS if cars are too close, or changed positions within 5 seconds, to prevent DRS chicken.

Would a limited cumulative duration of DRS use over the entire race, similar to what IndyCar does with “push to pass“, be a potential solution?

We should do more events in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi government is trying to do events in the country for publicity reasons, but every time it backfires terribly. This is an obscure country that most people cannot differentiate to UAE, so every time a football match or a race done in Saudi is a great opportunity to talk about slave work, Yemen or the situation of women.

It sure feels like this is the kind of issue that arises from having too many restrictions and rules, in the first place. You create a restriction, and it has an unintended impact, so you create a rule to deal with it, and it changes the purpose of the restriction, so you create another restriction, and it resolves the first issue, but gets exploited to create an altogether new problem. The new problem is addressed with yet another restriction, which starts the process all over again. Seems to be F1, in a nutshell.

DRS should take a 180. And only be available when your more than 1 second from the car in front. And some rule to stop drs trains..

If F1 had a moral compass it would not be able to host any race in any nation. Humanity as a whole is a naughty boy so lets just race and enjoy our time before we used up the planet.

I think they got drop drs and move towards battery deployment push to pass like in indycar. They could even make it so that drivers get a limited number of p2p per race like 100 seconds or something. It will introduce a strategy game like in indycar with drivers needing to save p2p for crucial moments of the race. Say you need an extra boost to pip a driver in the pits.

Glad you mentioned at least the comparisons with the USA we aren’t perfect either & everything has to be relative. Kinda wild to hear what’s going on in Texas & Florida of late with far right & no journo in F1 every mentions it & if anything the coverage is only how everyone loves Austin & the BBQs. Rather tone deaf, we can’t just be vocal on one issue towards certain countries & not look inward
