The F1 calendar 2021 is drawing to a screeching close with just two races left to go. The penultimate trip sees a debut for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Billed as the world’s fastest street circuit, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will see Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton scorching through the Jeddah dust with the title in range.
Red Bull star Verstappen will be crowned champion if he wins the race plus the fastest lap and Hamilton finishes lower than fifth.
However, barring a freak accident or incident, given the form Hamilton is in, it’s unlikely that he will be any where other than the podium.
Mercedes’ star man has been in superb form and final tweaks on the car appear to be paying major dividends as the season comes in to land.
RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about when the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix gets underway.
When is the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix?
The Qatar Grand Prix takes place on Sunday 5th December 2021.
The race starts at 5:30pm, so it’s later than usual, to accommodate for the heat of the day in the desert of Jeddah.
It will last around 90 minutes on average and can be no longer than two hours.
