Tweaks have been made to the Jeddah Corniche street circuit ahead of the 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

The track is one of the newest on the F1 calendar, with it providing the backdrop to a dramatic penultimate race in 2021 before becoming the second race of the 2022 campaign, a slot it will maintain for 2023.

Indeed, we'll be back in the country in March 2023 but there will be some changes to look out for on the circuit layout, after the track promoter took on feedback from the drivers, the FIA and F1.

In the press release, the changes were revealed to be as follows:

"One of the most significant changes to be confirmed is the addition of ‘Rumble Lines’ at Turns 3, 14, 19, 20 & 21. A Rumble Line can be defined as an adhesive on the ground similar to ones used on highways giving the driver notice that they are out of lane - in F1 terms this effectively ‘shakes’ the car which causes traction to be lost, subsequently slowing it down. Moreover, bevelled kerbs have also been added in place of steel ones at Turns 4, 8, 10, 11, 17 & 23.

"To further improve driver sightlines and visibility, Turns 14 & 20 have seen the shifting of the fence wall on the right and left hand sides respectively by 7.5m (T14) & 5m (T20) with an additional Rumble Line implemented in the verge between the white line and fence wall of these widenings. Additionally, the fence wall has been adjusted at Turns 8 & 10 to give drivers more visibility of the turn ahead.

"Finally, Turns 22 & 23 - one of the main ‘action’ sequences on the circuit - has seen its ‘S’ shape squeezed via the adjustment of the fence at T23 and addition of a bevelled kerb with the aim of slowing down the drivers by approximately 50km/h."

Visibility has certainly been an issue around the track with a number of near misses at high speed, particularly in qualifying, with slow drivers off of the racing line and others on hot laps coming around pretty blind bends.

Hopefully, these changes will help negate the chances of collisions moving forwards at a track that looks a hugely fast challenge to take on for the drivers.
