Worlds fastest street circuit F1 and FIA provide the current status on the Jeddah Street Circuit, as it races against time to host the first-ever F1 race in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
The Jeddah Street Circuit is a marvelous project and will reach its zenith on the first weekend of December when it hosts Saudi Arabias first-ever Formula 1 race.<\/p>\n
There have been reports of delay at work, though, with suggestions the track might not be ready on time.<\/p>\n
This has been rejected by F1s sporting director, Steve Nielsen, though, who is monitoring the progress on a day-to-day basis. He is happy with the progress being made and is optimistic of everything being ready, come December 3.<\/p>\n
They are up against it.<\/p>\n
They are literally working 24\/7, as they have been for quite a long time now. I saw some more photos this morning and they have made huge progress. But still a lot to do.<\/p>\n
So it really will be down to the wire, but they will get it done. Everything we need to put the race on safely we will have, Im confident of that.<\/p>\n
Its an ambitious project it will be a great facility.<\/p>\n
FIA Race Director Michael Masi will be traveling to the venue after the Qatar GP, to ensure there are no last-minute hiccups. He admits things are tight with the progress, but like Nielsen, is optimistic of readiness ahead of the race weekend.<\/p>\n
As I said last week, Im confident it will be ready. The fact its a three-hour flight, it became quite convenient just to go there and have a look.<\/p>\n
It was always going to be very close, theres no doubt about that. Everything Ive seen, the progress day-on-day and week-on-week has been amazing since I was there last, and Im looking forward to having another look.<\/p>\n
