Formula 1 qualifying time: How to watch F1 live stream for Saudi Arabia qualifying

Qualifying for Formula 1’s Saudi Arabia Grand Prix on Saturday will set the grid for the penultimate race of the year. Here’s how to watch the live stream.

The Formula 1 season is winding down but the drama definitely isn’t.

The Saudi Arabia Grand Prix will give Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen yet another opportunity to battle it out for the top spot in the standings.

First, they have to set themselves up for a good race with a strong qualifying.

How does F1 qualifying work?

Qualifying in Formula 1 is a fascinating dance of speed and strategy.

All 20 drivers compete in the first qualifying session where the goal is to be one of the 15 fastest drivers on the grid. After the 18 minutes allotted for Q1 are complete, the bottom five drivers are eliminated and the rest move on to Q2.

The second session of qualifying takes place over 15 minutes. This one is also about making sure you’re one of the 10 fastest drivers, but strategy comes into play as well because those 10 drivers have to use the tires they qualified on to start the race.

Q3 is a final shoot out to set the top 10 spots on the grid on race day. The 10 drivers have 12 minutes to set the best lap they possibly can. The quickest earns pole position.
