In Formula One, there's arguably nothing that quite matches the thrill and tension of racing at over 200mph whilst penned in, wall to wall, as the 1000 brake horsepower cars go wheel to wheel - pushing the boundary to the literal millimetre between glory and heartbreak.

In 2025, F1 will race at eight different street racing circuits around the world, from the season opener in Melbourne's Albert Park, this week's showdown in Saudi Arabia at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, to the jewel of the Formula One Calendar and the streets of Monaco, and the dazzling neon lights of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Pierre Gasly and Jack Doohan will take to these tracks in the BWT Alpine Formula One Team A525, searching for prestige in the streets - and there's no tougher challenge to kick start this campaign than the Jeddah Corniche street circuit.

The Jeddah Corniche Street Circuit

Jeddah boasts not just the second-longest circuit on the F1 calendar, behind the legendary Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, but it's also got more corners than any other track. Boasting 27 high-speed turns that all test the driver's mettle with flat-out drags around through many of them.

As if that wasn't enough, Jeddah is also the fastest street circuit of the year, with an average speed of 250km/h over a lap. This pushes up against the famous "Temple of Speed" in Monza, Italy, which boasts a near-unbeatable average lap speed of 264km/h in low fuel qualifying runs.

Six More To Come

With Melbourne already in the bag, and Jeddah looming large this weekend - in the coming months, the teams will face off against further legendary tracks, with the next challenge coming only two weeks later in Miami, and then two races later as Formula One returns to the Monaco Harbour for 78 laps of iconic racing.

Following an early-summer visit to Canada's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, F1 sees a break in street racing for the European leg of the season, awaiting its return in Azerbaijan as 20 cars tear up the asphalt around the beautiful Baku circuit, which holds the most impressive straight on any circuit, clocking in at 2.2km of foot-flat drag racing.

Closing out the season, come two of the most challenging street circuits of the seas with a trip to Marina Bay, Singapore, for another festival of speed under the lights of F1's first ever night race. To finish the season, its back to Las Vegas for the third year of neon lit street racing. Racing in cold conditions that truly test the drivers ability to adapt their driving to the conditions before them, all whilst speeding down one of the most famous roads in the world; the Las Vegas Boulevard.
