Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2021: Start time, TV, live stream
Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are separated by just eight points with two races remaining but for the Dutchman, Saudi Arabia is championship point number one.
All signs point to both the drivers' and constructors' battles going the distance with a setpiece finale in Abu Dhabi, but both Red Bull and Mercedes will have an eye on ending at least one fight a race early.
Although Hamilton suffered a stressful time of it in practice on Saturday, the seven-time champion summoned to the stewards' for two separate offences, he escaped without only a reprimand whilst Mercedes received a fine for failing to inform of oncoming traffic.
Qualifying saw a head to head battle between the two title rivals that ended with Verstappen in the wall at the final corner of a scintillating effort.
With Hamilton on pole and Verstappen, providing no gearbox change is required, third, the gloves will once again come off on Sunday.

GPFans' F1 SAUDI ARABIAN GP PREDICTION
Hamilton and Mercedes have been the team to beat in recent weeks with the seven-time champion resurgent since being thrown out of qualifying in Brazil.
Mercedes will fit the São Paulo engine back into his car for the high-speed Jeddah Street Circuit and if it is firing in a way similar to Brazil, Red Bull and Verstappen face a monumental task to come out on top.
Yes, it is mathematically possible that Verstappen could clinch his first F1 world title this weekend, but short of a reliability issue or a rare error from Hamilton, it is difficult to imagine things being settled before heading to Abu Dhabi for the season finale.
