Formula 1 wraps up its first tripleheader of the season with a return the the Jeddah Circuit, a track that is equal parts thrilling and dangerous.

It will be the fifth installment of the race, which started as one of the late races in the classic 2021 season before being moved up to an early season slot in 2022.

The 27-turn course features mostly high-speed corners of the course of the 3.8-mile track, one of the longest of the F1 calendar.

Since Lewis Hamilton won the controversial debut race in 2021, Red Bull has won each grand prix in Jeddah since then, including an 8-second victory for Max Verstappen last season.

The Saudi race will be a key point in the championship race, with Lando Norris holding on to a three-point advantage over teammate Oscar Piastri, whose dominant win in Bahrain last week has him bringing momentum into round five. Verstappen is eight points off of Norris, while George Russell is within striking distance, down just 14 points.

The race will follow a traditional FP1-FP2-FP3-Qualifying-Race format. The grand prix itself will be held over 50 laps on Sunday.

The weekend will be supported by Formula 2 and F1 Academy
