After round one of F1's 2022 season ended a few days ago, all eyes have moved to Jeddah for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix which will host the second race of the calendar for the ongoing season. Dominated by Ferrari, Bahrain Grand Prix saw Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz finish the first round on 1st and 2nd position, respectively. However, Lewis Hamilton had to compromise with the third position.
The inaugural race at Saudi Arabian GP was laced with a lot of drama and action. The circuit which is situated along the shores of the Red Sea, is the second-longest on the calendar, some 800m shorter than Belgium's Spa and the fastest street circuit. Track widening at the final turn 27 could make the lap even quicker. Like the first round, the second race of the season is expected to be one thriller ride which will surely hook the F1 fans to the TV screens. Eying the excitement amongst enthusiasts, SportsTiger bring out every detail related to race.
