Red Bull's Max Verstappen won last year's Saudi GP after defeating Ferrari rival Charles Leclerc in a cat-and-mouse contest that saw the two drivers regularly change the lead using DRS.
Verstappen's victory in Bahrain a fortnight ago also cements Red Bull's status as the favourite for F1's third visit to Jeddah.
