Saudi Arabia GP 2022: date, time and how to watch online and TV

The second race of the 2022 Formula 1 season is set to take place at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, despite yesterday’s missile attack on an oil depot near the venue.

There were concerns about safety after the incident, but after four hours of talks between the drivers and team officials and F1, they agreed to push through with the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix.

Crashes in qualifying

Saturday’s qualifying had its fair share of incidents as well. Mick Schumacher had a brutal crash in Q2, and was airlifted to a hospital for precautionary checks. He had no visible injuries, but he will not compete in the race.

Nicholas Latifi’s car spun out of control and crashed into the barriers, but he will be able to drive on Sunday.
