🗣️'The changes that they made are definitely positive from a driver's perspective.' The 'blind fear' of tackling the Jeddah F1 circuit has been reduced by layout tweaks for 2023 that improve safety and visibility, according to Logan Sargeant ⬇️
The “blind fear” of tackling the Jeddah Formula 1 circuit has been reduced by layout tweaks for 2023 that improve safety and visibility, according to Williams rookie Logan Sargeant.Recognised as the fastest street track on the calendar, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix host venue has drawn criticism since its 2021 debut for close walls that block the drivers’ sight lines through corners.
In addition, a fence has also been pushed back by 7.5 metres at the quicker Turn 4 and by five metres at Turn 20 to improve visibility. “Visually, being much more open, it takes away a bit of that blind fear feeling of not knowing what's around the corner.“So, I think all that is positive and more reasonable for a driver.”Piastri: simulator can’t replicate Saudi “fear factor”
But following a year on the sidelines in his understudy role at Alpine before making his McLaren switch, Piastri concedes he is still race rusty.That adaption process is not helped by the experience from the team’s soon-to-be-replaced simulator, which Piastri says cannot fully repeat the “fear factor” of the exposed Corniche coastal circuit.
