F1 schedule today: What time is FP3 and Qualifying for Saudi Arabian Grand Prix?

F1 travels to Jeddah for the first-ever Saudi Arabian Grand Prix this weekend, featuring the penultimate race of the season, with the final race taking place in Abu Dhabi.

As the table stands, Max Verstappen leads rival and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton by eight points. Verstappen, however, will not have it easy as Hamilton is close on his heels with consecutive wins at the Brazilian and Qatar Grands Prix.

The first two practice sessions completed on Friday have given the F1 teams and fans a real idea of the conditions on the brand new Jeddah Corniche Circuit, which had never seen any kind of racing on it before this weekend.
