Steve Jones presents highlights, with Mark Webber, Billy Monger and Ariana Bravo.

Lee McKenzie is joined by David Coulthard, Billy Monger and Ariana Bravo for Qualifying highlights from Saudi Arabia. The Jeddah Corniche Circuit has been on the calendar since 2021 and is the fastest street circuit ever seen in Formula 1. Its average speed is a whopping 250kmh, and with the walls so close, even the tiniest mistake can mean an early bath. Only Red Bull and Mercedes have made it to pole position here. Will a third team achieve P1 in 2025?

Of the four races that have taken place at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit since its introduction in 2021, Max Verstappen has won two of them. Will the four-time world champion be able to stand the heat and win another Saudi Grand Prix? Or will McLaren or perhaps Mercedes climb to the top of the podium? Surrounded by desert and city lights, it will be a hot race until the chequered flag.

The Tifosi's expectations will be high for their team to deliver. But McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes will be out to spoil the party.
