The 2025 Formula 1 season heads to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for its fifth race, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, set to take place on Sunday, April 20.
McLaren’s Oscar Piastri arrives in top form after claiming his second victory of the season at the Bahrain Grand Prix, where he outpaced Mercedes’ George Russell and teammate Lando Norris with an impressive performance.
Defending world champion Max Verstappen, who won last year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix ahead of Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc, will be determined to bounce back and notch his second win of the 2025 campaign following a disappointing result in Bahrain.
