For the second race of the 2023 season, Formula 1 has returned to the tracks for the Saudi Arabian GP. Drivers will be back on track to take the leads from their opponents and climb as high as possible in the standings.
There will be plenty of storylines to follow at the second race of the season as a lot has taken place over the past few days in the aftermath of the Bahrain GP. But there is still a good chance that the defending champion Max Verstappen will take off with the lead while others will try to play catch-up.
