After the first weekend of the season in Bahrain last week, Formula 1 is ready to get back on track immediately for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prixscheduled from 25 to 27 March on the circuit of Jeddah. An appointment to which the Williams introduces himself after the official return to the Circus of Alexander Albon, author of a qualification in Q2 and a 13th place in the race; a much more convincing performance than that of Nicholas Latifi, who finished in penultimate position on Saturday and 16th on Sunday, in penultimate place due to the three withdrawals recorded during the event.
With Sakhir filed, F1 is therefore one step away from opening its weekend on a circuit introduced for the first time in the world championship last year, also recognized as one of the fastest on the entire calendar. Moreover, having participated in the DTM championship in 2021, for Albon it will be an absolute debut on this track, with the Anglo-Thai driver who is experiencing the eve of the event with numerous sensations: “The Jeddah circuit is absolutely new for me, and it’s not easy to tackle – commented – consequently, although I am looking forward to this challenge, I know it will be difficult. I imagine it will be one track a little more suited to the characteristics of the FW44; it has more medium and high speed corners, so I hope we can do well there. The more races we do, the more we will understand this car and how we can work to maximize its performance, so I’m especially looking forward to getting back behind the wheel ”.
Look for the ransom instead Nicholas Latifidetermined to make up for it after an uninspiring personal performance in Bahrain: “The track was a novelty on the calendar in 2021, but it was certainly one of the most fun and exciting races – he has declared – I also really liked the combination of the fact that it is a night event on a street circuit; this added a particular atmosphere to an already interesting challenge in itself. Both the team and I headed to Saudi Arabia with the aim of realizing what we learned in Sakhir. We didn’t start the season exactly in the positions we would like to be in, but there are still positive aspects to take into account, and we will continue to push to make sure things improve. “
