The fifth round of the F1 season takes place at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, host of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Saudi Arabia made its F1 race debut in 2021 as the inaugural event saw title tensions between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton erupt.
Red Bull has been the most successful team at the venue as it has won three of the four F1 races staged in Jeddah, with Verstappen sitting as a two-time winner.
The Dutchman will be hoping for a more positive weekend this time around compared to his experience in Bahrain, where Red Bull struggled massively.
As McLaren chase a fourth victory in five rounds and Ferrari and Mercedes look to get their winning campaigns off to a start, practice offers the first chance to dial the cars towards qualifying and race day.
