Formula 1 heads to Jeddah for round five of the 2025 season at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, which gets underway today - Sunday April 20.

Four different drivers have won a race in 2025 so far, with Lando Norris and Max Verstappen each claiming a race win apiece whilst Lewis Hamilton remains the only sprint race winner of the season.

Oscar Piastri has already secured two victories in China and Bahrain, with his latest result placing him three points behind team-mate Norris in the drivers' standings.

However, George Russell has also enjoyed a spectacular start to the year and has placed himself in the championship fight with consistent results and three podium finishes.

Could a race win in Jeddah propel him either further in the championship fight? Or will McLaren once again come out on top at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
