Circuit Record Holders & Grand Prix History

Max Verstappen is the most decorated driver at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, securing two victories in 2022 and 2024. His command of the high-speed layout set a formidable standard during his campaigns with Red Bull. The roll of honour is otherwise populated by single-time victors, highlighting the track’s competitive nature. Lewis Hamilton claimed the inaugural race for Mercedes in 2021, Sergio Pérez converted a commanding drive into a win in 2023, and McLaren’s Oscar Piastri added his name to the list with a breakthrough performance in 2025.

From a constructor’s perspective, Red Bull Racing established a clear period of supremacy with a hat-trick of victories from 2022 through 2024. This dominant run, utilising Honda RBPT power, made the Milton Keynes outfit the team to beat. However, the engine manufacturer standings reflect a tighter contest. Mercedes power units have propelled two different teams to victory: the works Mercedes team in 2021 and customer outfit McLaren in 2025, demonstrating the enduring competitiveness of the Brixworth-built hybrid engines across different chassis concepts.

The event’s evolution began with a uniquely long and dramatic 2021 inaugural race, which was followed by a series of faster, tactically refined contests. This middle period was defined by Red Bull’s control, which was ultimately broken by McLaren’s 2025 triumph. Piastri’s win signalled a significant shift in the competitive landscape, disrupting the established hierarchy. This reset the balance of power and created a compelling backdrop of uncertainty leading into the new technical formula for the 2026 Grand Prix.
