The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is a Formula One motor racing event that is due to first take place in 2021. The inaugural edition of the race is set to be held in Jeddah, in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi GP, Sunday 5th December 2021, 5.30pm GMT
Whoever scores the first ever Saudi Arabian Grand Prix pole position will do so at a Jeddah Corniche Circuit that looks to be eye-poppingly fast.
Hamilton’s form of late has looked especially foreboding for Verstappen, who now heads his rival by just eight points in the drivers’ standings down from 19 points post-Mexico. “They woke up the lion,” was how Wolff described Hamilton’s devastating run of form after winning the last two encounters in Brazil and Qatar, and that sums it up pretty well.
With this the penultimate GP of the season any points scored by Hamilton or Verstappen could be a big bonus in the drivers championship race. For example if Verstappen wins and Hamilton fails to score a significant place the title will be wrapped up, so a lot at stake here.
Our Picks
Hamilton to Win @1/2
Sergio Perez, podium @15/8
Lando Norris, Podium @7/1
We think Verstappen will be around 4th and this title will go to the wire.
