Humans rights issues is a funny thing when you look at the bigger picture. Most turn a blind eye to genocide or war crimes in one instance but jump on the band wagon in the next. The ignorance and hypocrisy stinks but a sad reflection of society on the whole.
F1 and blood money just go together, since the beginning. Tobacco sponsors, oil company sponsors, crypto sponsors, gambling sponsors, going ahead with events despite deaths, having Saudi Arabia as a sponsor now is just a natural progression until that gets banned.
@@aarongreen121 my point is more that journalists are supposed to be impartial. If they are taking payments in return for positive publicity and a blind eye to their issues, then who can the public turn to for honest news

@@nestroit5010 - The track(s) is not the problem. The cars are. Too wide, too long and weigh 800kg. 2026 formula looks to change the cars length, width and weight.
In fairness to Tilke, he's just doing his job most of the time and working to standards the FIA sets for F1 circuits. If you wanna know what the man is really capable of, look up Bilster Berg or pay very close attention to how wild the elevation changes at COTA are. Tilke often acts as the fall guy, but he's just a good racetrack designer doing work for really shitty bosses. Doesn't excuse him completely, but it's worth remembering that he isn't making soulless tracks on purpose. It's kinda like the F1 chassis rules - the teams aren't TRYING to make whales, they're just following the FIA's formula. Pirelli aren't that bad at making tires, they're just following a directive. It seems simplistic to blame all of F1's biggest problems on its leadership, but it's usually the truth.
Circuit layout looks very promising. 30% it actually gets built. 100% Saudi propaganda. Would rather have Kylami or a proper race is Finland or Sweden or the crazy ocean side track in Croatia Edit: was really hoping Tilke wasnt involved but what do you know he is here ruining more of F1
The crazy ocean side track in Croatia is called Dragon Trail, and has sadly not been built yet :( If they were to get it to F1 standards, they would most likely reprofile the famous 'Death Chicane', because even in racing sims it causes absolute carnage.
I have no idea how those elevated bridge-like sections would pass inspection. A unusual scenario, but if you had a break failure and went up and over barricades (it's happened) that would be absolute curtains for whatever lucky soul did.
I both agree with you, but also this weekend we'll watch drivers climb Beau Rivage that would be the same disaster if someone fell off that cliff down to Neuveaux Chicane.
Not to mention where’s the safety barriers on turn 1, and when a car inevitably crashes there do they have a 15 story tall crane to remove it from the track?
I'm not much worried about people driving off the side of the thing, nothing a shit ton of reinforcement can't fix, the problem I have is, how to are they going to remove any potential debris during a race
instead of building this city, they couldve used a quarter of that money and sponsor tracks such as Sepang and Kyalami to return again on the calendar.
Absolutely agree, but if track like Sepang, Kyalami, Portimão, Nürburgring GP, Hockenheimring, Istanbul, Yeongam, and Buddh can permanently return one day later, can you approved to used money and sponsor to building a city like this?
I don't understand why these companies use such absurd images to represent a projected city when it just makes it look more fake than if they just had a more basic 3d render of the project, especially when the area has a history of having doomed projects with too many promises (the line city for instance) I'm like just 50% confident this race will happen
They weren't many doomed and abandoned projects. First The Line city hasnt stopped construction nor scaled back by one centimeter as the ministry of economy in saudi arabia. Second, the jeddah is not owned by goverment, but its owned by some private sector companies, and it was stopped because of some corruption issues regarding to the owners. So all of what you hear from doomed and abandoned projects isn't true.
Not again... I rather want to see Portimao again, or the Nürburgring back in F1 than a new racetrack in the middle of the dessert with atrocious 3d rendering that doesn't look like will be built 100%
Andrew mallery at 10:14 is clearly speaking absolute rubbish that he’s memorised. what a joke! sportstwashing at its finest, another average track with an S section and some tight sections and then some crappy draw card ‘high elevation’ hairpin. impossible to get to and incredibly expensive. bring back south africa
Looks like a Mario Kart track.. the only track in the world where you can shoot red and green shells at other cars, also can you find all the short cuts!
Just build a copy of Watkins Glen, Road America, Sepang etc. etc. Job done. No need for all the distractions around it, which let's be honest is only going to raise ticket prices.
Look, here's a beautiful, unspoiled natural area, what should we do with it? Lets build a bunch of crap that could likely be an abandoned mess in 20 years!
I’m sure it will be just as boring as almost every track on the schedule right now. Tilke is known for making notoriously boring tracks. But what do I know, I’m sure more tracks In the desert will be great. “Imagine a track that goes under a pool” and who will be able to afford to experience that? They try to act like this is for everyone and not just the hyper rich.
Mmm, think of all the cryptocurrency ads you could superimpose over those beautiful natural cliffs I for one am completely sold by this soulless, rigidly corporate video and cannot wait to see Formula One cars in action at 'Speed Park Track™'
"This provides a unique environment where culture, sports and entertainment collide" People in the pool at 2:00 fully clothed, that's the culture they're talking about?
This is never going to happen. This is another “The Line” or man made chain of islands. A lot of ambition in the Middle East, but with terrible execution (pun intended)
Not going to lie. You know those ads that come up before the video? For me it was Tequila in a can. Yeah, like that's going to happen in "The Kingdom".
Wow, I did not expect that Autosport would sacrifice their integrity by presenting crass paid content as journalism. How did this happen? Did ABS threaten to cut off your fingers?
Anything other than another parade lap/ drs train type circuit would be good. This track with its elevation in open air will no doubt suffer from wind and sunlight blinding issues.
You want to make a track interesting. Set aside a portion of the track where a driver can select between one of two subtracks in real time. To make it fair and to ensure the same race distance for everyone. Half the laps should be run on one subsection, half the laps on the other subsection.
the whole editing is uncanny on one hand i think the layout looks very promising,its not a street track witch is a thumbs up but this whole video sings to me chinese/north korean/saudi arabian srate propagnda...the people talking look so plastic
The Track map looks similar to Okayama in Japan... that Star Ship Enterprise shape. I don't know what to say. Even if it built and the race happens, can we really expect any sort of fan atmosphere.. no grand stands just hospitality suites???!! What is liberty thinking? It is Motorsport...not a Theme Park ride! A Magazine called "Autosport" is ppromoting this crap!
My only question if this happens is , is there going to be something over the track to keep people from thrown trash on the track. I can see someone trying to hit a driver
This looks so plastic and soulless, I wonder how many Myanmar labors will die making this. Although I have to say SA doing this while bridges fall in the US.
A track without multiple overtaking opportunities is hopeless and boring for drivers and spectators. No one mentioned this aspect which is very troubling, it's not a race track but another procession track. 2 hours of boring procession racing.
Make the roller coaster following along the entire race course. On another note, the 6 flags in my neighborhood is quite ghetto. Is that really who they're teaming-up with?
The track will probably have similar problems to COTA. But instead of unsteady soil, the surface will be bumpy as hell and constantly shifting due to all of buried workers underneath it.
What country is this even in? Im 5 mins in and not one mention lol. Makes you think they dont want you to know where its really at and whos behind it lol. Ill laugh my ass off if its the emirates. Because everyone moans about usa having 3 races thousands of miles aparr but dont realize abu dhabi, qatar and bahrain are like 100 miles (maybe a lil more) apart. Just call it abu dhabi or bahrain and noone notices because geography is hard and noone knows what an emirate is lol
@@sagittated not counting jeddah its only 200 miles between the other 3. My state is bigger than that and im not even in a big one lol. I looked and qiddya is in saudi arabia (of course) and its only 200 miles west of bahrain, right between there and jeddah lol.
No disrespect here, I just wanted to thank Autosport for having published this for all of us to see today, for had it been displayed on April 1st, i would have been convinced this to be nothing more than an April fool's joke. Of course, maybe this would have been better for the people of Islam, as this display, beyond its comical traits and interviewed characters, seem to be almost an insulting farce to the Quran. In fact, investing this much into high-profitability entertainment, in a country where human liberty is abused in continuum, to then refuse the racing fan tourists to drink from a real bottle of real champaign, or to be allowed to order a real Martini cocktail seems morally abusive for each and every dollar they contemplate to collect... Saudi Arabia, with an ambition to compete with Sin-City, ... what a devilish joke!
did he say they'll be racing 70m off the ground? i would love to see the FIA sign off on this, we should have an F1 race on the ocean floor after this one
Can't believe I just watched a 12 min ad
