Last year, the race in Jeddah saw a Red Bull tussle, with reigning World Champion Max Verstappen starting from outside the top 10. His teammate, Sergio Perez, won the race with a five-second gap ahead of Verstappen.
Surprisingly, Fernando Alonso managed to finish third and stood on the podium and had a post-race penalty overturned. However, in Bahrain, we saw that Aston Martin are not as fast as last year. Who will take victory in Saudi Arabia?
The 50-lap race will start at 20:00 local time (17:00 UK time), with warm conditions expected throughout.
