F1 grid: Starting positions for Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
F1 returns to Jeddah this weekend for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and round five of the 2025 F1 season.
Oscar Piastri claimed his second win of the season last time out with a commanding victory in Bahrain, cutting the gap to championship leader and McLaren teammate Lando Norris to three points in the drivers' standings.
George Russell finished an impressive second for Mercedes while Lewis Hamilton finished fifth - his best result on a Sunday since joining Ferrari.
Max Verstappen was short of pace for Red Bull, in the end coming home sixth, with speculation mounting that the Dutchman could leave at the end of the season. Verstappen won last year's race in Jeddah, memorable for Ollie Bearman making his F1 debut.Top-10: TBC

Lando Norris backs up Monaco win by soaring to top spot in Spain first practice
Lando Norris followed up his victory in Monaco by soaring to top spot in first practice for the Spanish Grand Prix. Norris earned a morale-boosting second win of the campaign last Sunday to move to within three points of McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri in the championship. Advertisement And the British driver headed Red Bull's Max Verstappen by 0.367 seconds in the opening running at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya with Lewis Hamilton third for Ferrari. Lando Norris finished fastest in first practice for the Spanish Grand Prix (Bradley Collyer/PA) Hamilton was 0.378 sec adrift of Norris while his Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc took fourth spot. Piastri finished fifth. McLaren's rivals might have hoped that a clampdown on flexible front wings – which some believe has contributed to the British team's rise – would slow them down. However, the early evidence of the rule tweak appears to have done little to influence McLaren's speed with Norris holding an early advantage. Although there could be some concern for Piastri who was more than half-a-second down on his team-mate. Advertisement Verstappen is the only driver outside of McLaren to win a race this season following victories in Japan and Imola to put him 25 points off the title pace. The Dutch driver indicated here that he will not be able to challenge Norris and Piastri over the championship stretch, but he can at least take confidence from being second in the order after he missed 20 minutes of the one-hour session as Red Bull made tweaks to his rear suspension. Hamilton will also be encouraged by his early showing after he finished a tenth-and-a-half clear of Leclerc. Liam Lawson was seventh for Racing Bulls, one place ahead of British rookie Ollie Bearman. George Russell finished a distant 11th for Mercedes, one second behind Norris. Second practice takes place at 17:00 (16:00 BST).

Lando Norris of McLaren topped the first practice session for the Formula One Spanish Grand Prix on Friday. Last weekend's Monaco GP winner clocked 1 minute 13.718 seconds to beat the Red Bull of four-time defending champion Max Verstappen by 0.367s. Advertisement Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari was third, followed by team-mate Charles Leclerc. Drivers' championship leader Oscar Piastri was fifth, 0.576s behind team-mate and title rival Norris. Mercedes were 11th and 18th with George Russell and Kimi Antonelli respectively, while home favourite Fernando Alonso was 13th in the Aston Martin. Following the race in Monaco, Piastri retained his lead in the standings, but only three points ahead of Norris. McLaren have dominated the season so far, with Piastri winning four and Norris two of the eight races. Verstappen is the only non-McLaren driver to claim victory at a Grand Prix this year. Second practice is later on Friday, with qualifying for Sunday's showdown scheduled for Saturday.
