How to watch the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix today: TV channel and live stream for second race of 2022 season

Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen do battle in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix today.

Formula One enjoyed a dramatic first race of the 2022 season in Bahrain as the Ferrari driver helped secured a one-two for his team, following Verstappen’s late retirement.

Both Red Bull cars pulled up with fuel issues in the final laps, allowing Lewis Hamilton to sneak into third place in his otherwise underwhelming Mercedes.

It is Verstappen’s team-mate Sergio Perez who starts from top spot in Jeddah, having pipped Leclerc to his first career pole for what will be his 216th race.

Carlos Sainz is third for Ferrari, with Verstappen only fourth ahead of Esteban Ocon, George Russell, Fernando Alonso, Valtteri Bottas, Pierre Gasly and Kevin Magnussen.

Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, is all the way down in 16th place after being eliminated in Q1 for the first time since the Brazilian Grand Prix of 2017.

Mick Schumacher won’t race for Haas after being taken to hospital in the aftermath of a scary high-speed crash during qualifying.

With lights out at 6pm BST, here is everything you need to know for tuning into the race...
