Windsor critical of circuit: 'That's just asking for trouble'

A record number of races will be held in 2024. As many as 24 circuits will have a place on the Formula 1 calendar. Peter Windsor does not get excited about every circuit. In a livestream on his YouTube channel, he says he is not a fan of the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix.

The race at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit has been on the F1 calendar since 2021. The debut race at the circuit was immediately bizarre: in that race, the red flag was waved twice and there was a very exciting battle between title rivals Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton.

Still, Windsor does not like the circuit: "Those quick corners with the guardrail both sides and that kerb they hit sometimes. What is that all about? That's asking for trouble. I like quick corners, but what I don't like about it is if someone has a moment and they are just out of sight, you can have a massive two-car shunt."

"The hairs on my arms stand up when we are onboard the cars going through that section. I don't like the DRS either, I think that is artificial. There's nothing I like about it (on the Jeddah Corniche Circuit)."
