What are the teams looking for ahead of the F1 Saudi Arabian GP?

There was a lot to learn from the first round of the F1 calendar in 2023 in Bahrain. Red Bull dominated the entire grid and were closely followed up by Ferrari until one of their cars was forced to retire. While the race cleared up where the teams stand in terms of development, there could be a lot of opportunities in Jeddah.

Ferrari will surely be looking for a chance to win the race since they had a major loss of points after Charles Leclerc had to retire. Carlos Sainz, meanwhile, had his podium chance snatched by Fernando Alonso's magnificent pace in Aston Martin. At the same time, they will be looking forward to better reliability in the car.

Mercedes, on the other hand, would expect to be more competitive against both Aston Martin and Ferrari after their poor performance in the race earlier.

McLaren, meanwhile, will be hoping to score points after their first race turned out to be a disaster. Oscar Piastri retired from the race while Lando Norris' P20 finished following a whopping 6 pit stops.
