- F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: When is it? H꧅ow can Iꦉ watch?
Max Verstappen 🍌hits out at Netflix: ‘F1 is not the Kardashians!’
Red Bull reveal cause of doublꦯe-DNF but ‘expecꩲt no problems’
Formula 1 returns to Saudi Arabia just over three mo🦩nths since its inaugural race at the Jeddah Corniche Circui✨t.
The first-ever race in Saudi Arabia was a thriller with title rivals Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton going head-to-head for the race vic𝔉tory.
The pair came to blows on more than one occasion with Hamilton ultimat✤ely taking the victory, even though he had a damaged front wing after hitting the back of Verstappen who was deemed to have brake tested the seven-time champion.
Looking ahead to this weekend, Ferrari will go into the race with great confidence after takin🐻g a 1-2 finish at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Charles Leclerc won from pole position ahead of teammate Carlos Sainz to൩ claim Ferrari's first win since 2019.
Mercedes secured a 3-4 after both Red Bulls retired from the race in the closing laps🦂 due to a fuel pump-related issue.
Haas an🌼d Alfa Romeo enjoyed their best races in some time with Kevin Magnussen and Valtteri๊ Bottas finishing inside the top six.
On the♏ other hand, McLaren and Williams endured very di♛fficult races as they battled Williams at the back of the grid.
All of the Mercedes-powered teams struggled for straight-line speed in Bahrain but it's still early days to say whether the Germꦫan manufacturer has taken a step back in engine performance.
The Jeddah circuit has undergone some minor changes in a bid to improve safety, particularly at some of the tight💝 corners which are blind for the drivers.
It's likely to be another battle between Red Bull and Ferrari at the front▨.
