STC SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX
Jeddah Corniche Circuit
17-19 March 2023





0″549. The margin between Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc in last year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. There was a thrilling race-long duel for the lead between the two men which went all the way to the last lap, decided by this tiniest of margins, the smallest of the whole season.



5. The number of different leaders in the two editions of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The only driver to have led both is Max Verstappen. In 2021, apart from him, Lewis Hamilton led for 18 laps and Esteban Ocon for one. Last year, apart from the Dutchman, Charles Leclerc led for 30 and Sergio Perez for six.




6. The number of UNESCO sites in Saudi Arabia. They are, the Al-Hikr archaeological site, the largest preserved site of the Nabatean civilisation; the Al-Turayf district, the first capital of the Saudi dynasty, found in the heart of the Arabian peninsula to the north-west of Riyadh; the historic centre of Jeddah; rock art in the Ha’il region; the Al-Hasa oasis and the cultural area of Bir Hima, in the arid and mountainous south-west of the country on one of the Arabian peninsula’s ancient caravan routes.


This is also the site of a significant collection of rock art images, depicting hunting, fauna and flora and a lifestyle that has been in continuous existence for seven thousand years.



60. The number of overtaking moves over the first two editions of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, split 27 in 2021 and 33 in 2022. The driver who pulled off the most passes was Lewis Hamilton on nine (2 in 2021, 7 in 2022) followed by Lando Norris on six (2 in 2021 and 4 in 2022) and Valtteri Bottas with five (3 in 2021 and 2 in 2022). Carlos has four to his name, all of them in 2021 and Charles has three (2 in 2021 and 1 in 2022).



375. The speed in km/h at which the water comes out of the Re Fahd fountain in Jeddah on the Corniche. It is modelled on the Jet d’Eau in Geneva and was inaugurated in 1985. The fountain uses water from the Red Sea and it reaches a height of 312 metres at a speed in excess of current Formula 1 car top speeds. Illuminated at night, it can be seen from everywhere in the Saudi metropolis.
