Welcome back to the F1 Hangover. This is a mini edition of the series, which takes you inside the off-track happenings during a race weekend. I wasn’t on the ground in Saudi Arabia, but I’ll be returning to form in Miami early next month, so mark your calendars.
In the meantime, let’s look back on the week in Jeddah. It’s no secret that the Saudis are paying big bucks to attract sporting stars to the region, and same goes for the world of entertainment. Jennifer Lopez, Usher and Major Lazer were flown out to perform at the MDLBEAST music festival attached to the race. Somewhat bizarrely, all of the musical guests were seen posing for snaps with the Saudi race promoters and Stefano Domenicalli - I’m not being facetious when I say I’d love to know what a conversation between Diplo and the F1 chief sounds like.
