Max Verstappen clinched a straightforward victory in Bahrain during the opening weekend with Ferrari failing to inspire confidence in hopes of a genuine title challenge.

Of course, while the signs are ominous for rivals of Red Bull, the bumper 24-race season is sure to throw up surprises at some stage or another.

The Jeddah Corniche Circuit has thrown up plenty of drama during its initial three races, featuring three different winners: Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez in 2021, 2022 and 2023 respectively.

Fans across the globe will be keen to see a similarly competitive race weekend in the desert of Saudi Arabia this weekend.

RadioTimes.com brings you the full schedule for race weekend at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
