F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2024: Start time, stream, TV, schedule as Hamilton and Verstappen race on Jeddah track
STRAP on your seatbelts F1 fans as the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is BACK – and there might not be many races left on the Jeddah circuit.
The popular Saudi track will be replaced by the Qiddiya Circuit, a “unique” purpose-built track that is set to have a Six Flags theme park run parallel next to it.

But for now, all eyes will be on Jeddah as Max Verstappen looks to continue his dominance of the sport following a win in the Bahrain opener.
The Red Bull racer finished 22 seconds ahead of second-placed Sergio Perez and 50 seconds faster than seventh-place Lewis Hamilton.
However, Hamilton’s last win came at the Saudi GP back in 2021, so he’ll be eager to make history repeat itself.
