Saudi F1 organisers to tweak circuit layout to improve driver visibility

Some minor adjustments will be made to the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix's Jeddah street circuit to improve driver visibility around corners, organisers said on Thursday.

"Firstly, there are going to be one or two slight changes to the track," Saudi Motorsport Company Chief Executive Martin Whitaker said in a statement.

"These tweaks are directly related to a drivers' sightline from the cockpit.

"It's minimal work, but it will help improve forward visibility in a couple of corners."

The 6.1-km long Jeddah Corniche Circuit made its Formula One debut in December and is considered to be the second-fastest track on the calendar after Monza in Italy.
