Formula 1 returns to🏅 Saudi Arabia just over three months since its inaugural race at the Jeddah Cornicꦡhe Circuit.
The first-ever race in Saudi Arabia was a thriller with title rivals Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton go꧃ing head-t💖o-head for the race victory.
The pair came to blows on more than one occasion with Hamilton ultimately 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 w𒉰eekend, Ferrari will go into the race with great confidence after taking a 1-2 fin🉐ish at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Charles Leclerc won from pole position ahead of teammate Carlos Sainz to cl📖aim 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 p𒆙ump-related issue.
Haas and Alfa Romeo enjoyౠed their best races in some time with Kevin Magnussen and Valtteri Bottas finishing inside the t🔴op six.
On the other ha🔜nd, McLaren and Williams endured very difficult races as they battled Williams at the back of the grid.
All of the Mercedes-powered teams struggled for straight-line speed in&nbs♚p;Bahrain but it's still early days to say whether the German manufacturer has taken a step back in engine performance.
Thꦫe 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 b⛄e another battle between Red Bull and Ferrari at the front.
