Formula 1 Saudi Arabia Grand Prix: Schedule, odds, and how to watch

The road to the 2024 Formula Oneworld championship rolls on into its second race weekend of the season.

Red Bull driver Max Verstappen won the first race of the season handily in Bahrain, and the city of Jeddah is set to host the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix this weekend. This year will mark the race's fourth iteration since its 2021 inception.

The race is known for being the fastest street track on the Formula One calendar. Its relative lack of tight corners allow for an average driver speed of 160 miles (250 kilometers) per hour. It is also the second-longest track on the calendar: 3.84 miles (6.17 kilometers) long.

Notably, no driver has won the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix more than once. Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton won in 2021, Verstappen won for Red Bull in 2022 and his teammate, fellow Red Bull driver Sergio Pérez, won last year.

Because Ramadan begins Sunday, this week's competition will be held on Saturday instead of Sunday. Here's how to watch and the latest odds for the winner.
