Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2022: Start time, TV, live stream

F1 roars back into action for the second round of the 2022 world championship, returning to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Saudi Arabia.

Ferrari kicked off its season in the strongest way possible in Bahrain with pole position, fastest lap and a one-two finish, while Red Bull suffered a double retirement in the closing stages.

With teams still learning about their new cars, Jeddah could provide another classic as the field looks to close the gap to Ferrari.

What will the pecking order turn out to be?

GPFans' F1 SAUDI ARABIAN GP PREDICTION

With a sample size of just one race to go by, it is impossible to predict anything other than another battle between Ferrari and Red Bull at the front this weekend.

Given the events of last year, the safety car is almost certain to be called into action at some point with red flags also likely.

Should any of the front runners find themselves caught up in the chaos, that could open the door for Mercedes or even teams like Haas and Alfa Romeo to sneak into the podium positions.
