I think it's always nice to go to places where the sport is the priority for the people, We've seen over the years that in this area it keeps growing and we have to remember that at the end of the day Formula 1 is a worldwide sport that we might race in Saudi, but a lot of people around the world are watching us. So, I think it's good that it's expanding from Europe.
Sergio Perez said via RN365.

In the past, Formula 1 was dominated by European races. However, as it gained global popularity, the races have become more geographically diverse. While Europe still holds the majority at 42%, the rest of the world is part of the action as well. North and South America combined accounts to 25% of the races. The remaining 33% of races are spread across Australia and Asia.
