Ever since the turbo-hybrid era began in 2014, Mercedes have dominated the Formula One grid. More interestingly, they won at all the new venues added to the F1 calendar since that era.

With the Jeddah track being new this season, it seems like the Silver Arrows will do the same, as they did at the past venues. Or can Red Bull prevent the Brackley-based squad from doing so?

Mercedes have dominated new venues since the turbo-hybrid era

When Sochi was added in 2014, it was Lewis Hamilton who claimed victory in Russia. Later in 2016, when the Formula One paddock when to Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, it was Germany’s Nico Rosberg who took the chequered flag.

When Mugello and Portimao were added to last season’s calendar, it was the 7-time world champion who won those races. And in 2021, when Qatar hosted a Grand Prix, it was Britain’s Knight who took the chequered flag.
