Timetable of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix | What time does the race start?

The Bahrain Grand Prix has only just concluded, but in a few days the teams are back at it again as a race weekend in Saudi Arabia is on the program. But at what time do the free practices, qualifications and races take place?

Like every race, the first two free practice sessions are scheduled for this Friday. Where the first session starts at 14:00 UK time, the drivers can get ready for the second practice at 17:00. It should give the racing stables enough time to prepare for Saturday.

That's when qualifying is scheduled, but it won't start until the third free practice session has taken place. Between 14:00 and 15:00, the drivers will have one more chance to finalize the details, after which qualifying is scheduled for 17:00.

It is expected to be as exciting as last season to get a good starting position for Sunday. At 18:00 on Sunday the second Grand Prix of the season will start. While Ferrari will be aiming for the win again, Red Bull Racing has some catching up to do after their double retirement last weekend.

First free practice: 14:00 - 15:00

Second free practice: 17:00 - 18:00

Third free practice: 14:00 - 15:00

Qualification: 17:00 - 18:00

Race: 18:00 - 20:00
