Recently, the F1 unveiled the first images of the future Qiddiya City circuit in Saudi Arabia, where the sport will hold races towards the end of the decade.
This ambitious project received social media support from drivers, with posts that seemed almost like sponsored content. Lando Norris, for one, is fully onboard with the project.
“I watched the video and the teaser, and it looks pretty insane,” said the McLaren F1 driver. “That’s what the Saudis do, so all credit to them for coming up with crazy ideas and trying to make the place as cool as it looks.”
“There are many places that are far from being as vibrant and fun. If you want people to be drawn to this sport in general, it shouldn’t be a circuit in the middle of nowhere where nobody goes.”
The British driver believes that Qiddiya City will provide off-track entertainment that will allow fans to have a great time when the F1 cars are not on the track, especially with attractions like the Six Flags amusement park: “You want things happening in the evening and the afternoon with shows.”
“You want it to be a big event, not just a few hours of racing where we are on the track before everyone goes home and gets bored. So yes, I applaud them for coming up with crazy ideas, because I think it’s definitely a good thing for everyone.”
