2024 F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix session timings and preview

Max Verstappen started the 2024 F1 season in dominant fashion in Bahrain last weekend, shrugging off the civil war at Red Bull to take a dominant win ahead of team-mate Sergio Perez.

Verstappen is once again the favourite for victory at Jeddah, where he finished second to Perez last year.

As with last weekend's Sakhir event, the Saudi street race will take place on Saturday. The change has been made in account of the Ramadan, which starts on Sunday 10 March.
