WEEKEND WARM-UP: McLaren the favourites as intra-team rivalry hots up in Saudi Arabia with Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes all in the mix

Saudi Arabia plays host to the fifth race weekend of an already enthralling season. But while McLaren start as favourites, nothing is guaranteed at this incredibly fast circuit where the walls loom large.

Oscar Piastri comes to Jeddah in fine form following his win in Bahrain, while Lando Norris is wrestling with the knowledge that he cannot quite get the same speed out of his McLaren. But both could do well here, as both are good on street circuits.

Elsewhere, Ferrari's new floor is expected to see them jump firmly back into the mix, while Red Bull think they should be quicker here than they were in Bahrain.
