The 2025 Formula 1 season's first triple-header concludes this weekend with the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

The race at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit is the fifth in the first six weeks of the season, as F1 packs races into a hectic start to the year.

Lando Norris leads the constructors' championship, his status as the only driver to finish on the podium in every race this season keeping him marginally ahead of team-mate and double race winner Oscar Piastri.

There are now just three points separating the papaya duo, with Max Verstappen down in third place after a disappointing weekend at Sakhir.
