- F1 Saudi Arabi⛄an Grand Prix: When is it? 💖How can I watch?
Max Verstapp🅰en hits out at Netflix: ‘F1 is not👍 the Kardashians!’
Red Bull reve🔯al cause of double-DNF but ‘expect no problems’
Formula 1 re꧒turns to Saudi Arabia just over three months sinc🦋e its inaugural race at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
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 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 Verstap𓂃pen who wa༒s deemed to have brake tested the seven-time champion.
Looking ahead to this weekend, Ferrari will go into the race with great confi⛎dence after 🐼taking a 1-2 finish at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Char💫les Leclerc won from pole position ahead of teammate Carlos Sainz to 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 and Alfa Romeo enjoyed their best races in some time 🥂with Kevin Magnussen and Valtteri Bottas finishing inside the top six.
On the other hand, McLaren and Williams endured very difficult races as they battled Will༺iams at the back of the grid.
All of the Mercedes-powered teams struggled for straightꦕ-line speed in Bahrain but it's still early days to say whether the German manufacturer has taken a step💃 back in engine performance.
The Jeddah circuit has undergon🍨e some minor changes in a bid to improve s꧅afety, particularly at some of the tight corners which are blind for the drivers.
It's l🏅ikely to be another battle between Red Bull and Ferrari at the front.
