It’s now just six months until the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah, and to celebrate, the race organisers have revealed new renderings of what the state-of-the-art pit and team building will look like.
Considered the heart of the circuit – set to be F1’s fastest ever street track – the building will overlook the starting grid and back on to Jeddah’s majestic Red Sea coast.
Designed by renowned Tilke architect, Ulrich Merres, the 280m-long, four-storey, cutting-edge structure takes the form of a composed landscape of multi-storey staggered buildings.
