Formula 1 heads to Jeddah in Saudi Arab✱ia for the first time in🔴 its history with the title battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton finely poised at the top.
Just e♒ight points separate Verstappen and Hamilton 𒉰with two rounds remaining in 2021.
The Dutchman could take tﷺhe title this weekend should results go his way but given Mercedes' impressive run of form in recent rounds, a title decider in🗹 Abu Dhabi looks more likely.
The circuit itself poses a unique challenge given that it is a high-♚speed street circuit.
Outside the top two, just 13 points separate Valtteri Bottas and Sergioꦆ Perez in the race for third in the drivers' championship, and no doubt, both꧙ drivers will have a significant role to play.
In the constructors', Mercede🐟s leads Red Bull 🌜by five points, while Ferrari is 39.5 ahead of McLaren in the fight for third.
