What time does the F1 race start today? TV channel, starting grid for 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

22 hours ago 3

The 2025 Formula 1 season heads to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for its fifth race, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, set to take place on Sunday, April 20.

McLaren’s Oscar Piastri arrives in top form after claiming his second victory of the season at the Bahrain Grand Prix, where he outpaced Mercedes’ George Russell and teammate Lando Norris with an impressive performance.

Defending world champion Max Verstappen, who won last year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix ahead of Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc, will be determined to bounce back and notch his second win of the 2025 campaign following a disappointing result in Bahrain.

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025 race is finally here and for all your time, TV and streaming details, look no further than The Sporting News for a full guide.
