We're immediately back on track in Jeddah
Max Verstappen started 2024 in the best possible way by scoring pole position, victory and fastest lap in the race in Bahrain for a total of 26 points, the maximum available. Red Bull celebrated the double thanks to the second place of Sergio Perez, who beat Sainz's Ferrari by a few seconds in the fight for second place.
The duel Red Bull-Ferrari it now moves to Saudi Arabia on the Jeddah circuit, which in 2022 was the scene of a beautiful challenge between Verstappen and Leclerc won by the Dutchman in the sprint. Compared to 12 months ago, the Scuderia di Maranello is framing the Saudi stage with decidedly different perspectives compared to 2023 when Leclerc was aware of having to serve a 10-place penalty on the starting grid after just one race due to the knockout of both control units in Sakhir. It will obviously be interesting to check the performance of the cars which will not be able to rely on the 24 hours of testing through which the weekend in Bahrain was prepared. Along with F1, F2 will also be on track.
The event will be broadcast live in full on Sky Sports F1on TV8 Qualifying and the Grand Prix will be broadcast live and deferred. On FormulaPassion.it you will find live coverage of all the sessions that will see F1 on the track. Below are all the details of the programming, the characteristics of the circuit and the roll of honor of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
