F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: Date, UK start time, schedule, TV channel and live stream ahead of huge weekend of racing

THE Formula 1 season has returned, and Max Verstappen kicked it off by winning the Bahrain Grand Prix two weeks ago.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen finished in first place 12 seconds in front of teammate Sergio Pérez as Red Bull look to dominate the 2023 F1 season.

Lewis Hamilton finished in 5th, and rumours surrounding him leaving Mercedes at the end of the season started as he is desperate for an eighth world championship.

Last year’s Saudi Arabia GP was a thriller, with Verstappen just piping Charles Leclerc to the top of the podium by 0.549s.
