The cars are set to hit the Jeddah Corniche Circuit for the 2022 F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix this weekend for the second race of the season. The new era of F1 came to life last weekend in Bahrain, where each team pushed their cars to their absolute limit, giving the drivers, teams, and fans a great idea of where each team stands.

One would note that the constructors' and drivers' standings by the end of last season look extremely different from that after last week's season opener. While Ferrari and Mercedes are leading the pack going into the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Red Bull and McLaren went home with absolutely no points. Haas came out as the biggest surprise in the race, having scored more points last weekend than they did in the last two years combined.

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix delivered some exciting drama last season on the thrilling, high-speed street circuit. Jeddah does not generally experience too much rainfall and the upcoming weekend is set to be sunny with a little bit of breeze. Significant fluctuations in temperatures within the sessions this week may be expected. This can play an important role in the course of the race in terms of tire strategies.
