Where is the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix taking place?
The Jeddah Corniche Circuit is one of the newest venues on the F1 calendar after making its debut in 2021. Hosting F1 is part of Saudi Arabias push to become a major player in global sports. Jeddah is fast for a street circuit and walls close to the track mean the slightest error brings heavy punishment. Its the second night race in a row after last weeks Bahrain Grand Prix. Max Verstappen is the only driver to win in Jeddah twice. Lewis Hamilton and Sergio Perez have one win each.
What happened in the last race?
Oscar Piastri became the first driver to win two races this season with a dominant drive from pole position to victory in Bahrain. It was a dramatic race behind him as George Russell contended with electrical problems and held off Piastris teammate Lando Norris to take second. Verstappen had problems with his Red Bull and placed sixth. Norris leads the 2025 driver standings by three points from Piastri.
What happened in Friday practice in Saudi Arabia?
Norris set the fastest time of the day in second practice and was only .007 of a second off Pierre Gasly in the first session. His McLaren teammate Piastri also had strong pace. Verstappen recovered from handling problems earlier in the day to be third fastest in the second session. Verstappens Red Bull teammate Yuki Tsunoda was unhurt in a crash which brought out the red flag.
What do I need to know about F1 so far?
Get caught up:

Key stats at Jeddah
58 McLarens gap over its nearest challenger Mercedes in the constructors standings shows how its the only team to be consistently fast at all tracks so far.
69 Verstappen has scored all but two of Red Bulls 71 points this season. Tsunodas ninth place in Bahrain was the first time any of his teammates finished in the top 10 since November.
7 Rookie Oliver Bearman made a splash on debut in Saudi Arabia last year with seventh place as an emergency stand-in for Ferrari. Now at Haas, thats still Bearmans best finish in F1.
What they said after practice
The competition doesnt seem far away, so we need to iron out a couple of things to put us in the best place for qualifying. Piastri
I think we learned a lot from the sessions today, but it is still not quite where we want the car to be. Verstappen
Its not controversial to say that McLaren looked like they were clear in front but Im hopeful we can be in the fight for best of the rest once again as we head into the weekend. Mercedes driver Russell

沙特阿拉伯吉达（美联社）——以下是关于周日沙特阿拉伯F1大奖赛的指南，它将是2025年F1赛季的第五轮比赛。
如何在电视上观看沙特阿拉伯大奖赛
在美国，ESPN。
这里列出了其他国家。
沙特阿拉伯大奖赛的赛程表还剩下哪些比赛？
周六：第三次练习和资格赛。
周日：沙特阿拉伯大奖赛，在6.2公里（3.8英里）长的吉达滨水大道赛道上跑50圈。比赛于格林尼治标准时间19:00（东部时间下午1点）开始
沙特阿拉伯大奖赛在哪里举行？
吉达滨水大道赛道是2021年首次亮相后F1赛历中最新的赛道之一。举办F1赛事是沙特阿拉伯成为全球体育领域主要参与者的一部分。吉达赛道对于街道赛道来说非常快，赛道周围的墙壁意味着任何微小的错误都会带来重罚。在上周的巴林大奖赛之后，这是连续第二场夜间赛事。马克斯·维斯塔潘是唯一两次在吉达获胜的车手，而刘易斯·汉密尔顿和塞尔吉奥·佩雷斯各有一场胜利。
上一场比赛发生了什么？
奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里（Oscar Piastri）成为本赛季首位在巴林站从杆位到胜利中占据绝对优势的两位车手之一。在他身后的比赛也十分激烈，乔治·拉塞尔（George Russell）因电气问题而争夺，并抵挡住了皮亚斯特里队友兰多·诺里斯（Lando Norris）的挑战，最终获得第二名。维斯塔潘（Verstappen）的红牛赛车出现问题，最终排名第6。诺里斯以3分的优势在2025年车手积分榜上领先皮亚斯特里。
在沙特阿拉伯的周五练习中发生了什么？
在第二次练习中，诺里斯以最快速度完成，仅以0.007秒之差落后于皮埃尔·加斯利（Pierre Gasly）的首次练习成绩。他的迈凯伦队友皮亚斯特里（Piastri）也表现强劲。维斯塔潘（Verstappen）从早上处理问题后恢复过来，在第二次练习中位列第三。在发生撞车事故导致红旗出示时，维斯塔潘的队友竹内幸太（Yuki Tsunoda）并未受伤。
到目前为止，我需要了解哪些关于F1的信息？
请跟上：
F1的冠军争夺战越来越集中在迈凯伦车队的两位车手身上，但马克斯·维斯塔潘仍然充满希望。
在巴林大奖赛中，奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里（Oscar Piastri）轻松夺冠，兰多·诺里斯（Lando Norris）获得第三名。
尽管有关于他未来在F1的传言，但马克斯·维斯塔潘表示自己“很放松”。
在F1（Formula 1）锦标赛在迈凯伦（McLaren）内逐渐升温之际，兰多·诺里斯（Lando Norris）感到自己"离最佳状态还差得远"
在F1驶向沙特阿拉伯之际，随着马克斯·维斯塔潘的“灾难性”表现，红牛车队引起了越来越多的关注。
吉达的关键统计数据
目前，在车队积分榜上，麦克拉伦相对于其最近的主要竞争对手梅赛德斯的优势表明，它是唯一一支在所有赛道上都能保持持续快速速度的队伍。
本赛季至今，维斯塔潘为红牛车队赢得了全部71个积分中的70个。而森达在巴林取得的第九名是自11月以来，他的任何一位队友首次跻身前十名。
去年，作为法拉利队的紧急替补选手，菜鸟奥利弗·比尔曼在沙特阿拉伯首次亮相就获得了第七名的好成绩。现在效力于哈斯车队，这仍然是比尔曼在F1中的最佳成绩。
他们在训练后的发言
竞争看似已经近在咫尺，因此我们需要解决一些事情，以确保我们为资格赛做好最佳准备。 皮亚斯特里
我认为我们今天从会议中收获了很多，但距离我们想要让汽车达到的状态还有一定差距。维斯塔潘
说迈凯伦在前面很清楚，这并不是一个有争议的观点，但我希望我们在周末到来时能够再次在争夺第二梯队的最佳中占有一席之地。
