The promoter of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix spoke to drivers at Silverstone about their concerns ahead of F1’s first trip to the nation.

The 2021 season is set to involve a grands prix in Saudi Arabia for the first time, but it was an announcement which has raised questions for some.

In particular some drivers were concerned about Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, but promoter of the event and chairman of the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation, Prince Khalid Bin Sultan Al Faisal, said he did hold some talks with drivers when he was at Silverstone to attend the British Grand Prix.
