2022 F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix – How to watch, start time & more
Formula 1 returns to Jeddah this weekend for the second edition of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Here's how you can watch the second round of the 2022 season.
Red Bull's Sergio Perez will start an F1 race from pole position for the first time in his career following a sensational 1m28.200s effort at the end of the qualifying session.
Perez's last-gasp lap prevented an all-Ferrari front row lockout, with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz now due to start second and third respectively ahead of the other Red Bull of reigning champion Max Verstappen.
Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton was eliminated in Q1 for the first time since 2017, with the Mercedes driver lining up 15th on the grid.
Haas driver Mick Schumacher will sit out the race despite escaping his Q2 crash without any injuries.
