It's finally the second race weekend of the 2023 season! The first two free practice sessions begin today ahead of the race on Sunday. 

The race on Sunday is anticipated to be much closer than Bahrain where Max Verstappen won by a mile. The Jeddah track is thought to suit the Ferrari SF-23's more this weekend so, despite Charles Leclerc's ten-place grid penalty, all-eyes will be on the Maranello squad to see if they can get their first podium of the year.
