Reports have suggested that Liberty Media are in talks for a Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in the near future as F1 looks to expand its reach in the Middle East.

However, a potential stumbling block for F1 is the country's poor human rights record along with its gender inequality.

Formula E hosted their season five opener in the country in Ad Diriyah, and the country could soon see a Formula 1 race as well...
