Formula 1 returns tওo Saudi Arabia just over three months since💟 its inaugural race at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

The first-ever race in Saudi Arabia was a thriller with title rivals Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton going head-to-head for the race 🔯victory.

The pair came to blows on more than one occasion with Hamilton ultimately taking the victory, even thou🙈gh he had a dama꧅ged front wing after hitting the back of Verstappen who was deemed to have brake tested the seven-time champion.

Looking ahead to this weekend, Ferrari will go into the rac𓆏e with great confidence after taking a 1-2 finish at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.

Charles Leclerc won from pole position ahead of teammate Carlos Sainz to claim Ferra﷽ri's first win since 2019.

Mercedes secured a 3-4 after both Red Bulls retired from the race in the clos𓃲ing laps due to a fuel pump-related issue.

Ha𝄹as and Alfa Romeo enjoyed their best races in some time with Kevin Magnussen and Valtteri Bottas finishing inside the top six.𝄹 

On the other hand, McLaren and Williams endured ve♈ry difficult races as they battled Williams at the back of th𓃲e grid.

All of the Mercedes-powered teams struggled for straight-line speed in Bahrain bu𓆏t it's still early days to say whether the German manufacturer has taken a step back in engine performance.

The Jeddah circuit has undergone some minor changes in a bid to improve safety, particularly at some of the tigh𝔉t corne🍸rs which are blind for the drivers.

It's likely to be another battle between Reꦚd Bull and Ferrari at the front.
