  1. 'Big job' for Norris

    The main headline on Saturday was Lando Norris.

    Q3 was only in its infancy when championship leader Norris clipped the kerb at Turn Five and crashed out in his McLaren. Norris walked away from the incident unharmed but the shunt leaves him down in 10th place for the start of today's race.

    With team-mate Oscar Piastri and defending champ Max Verstappen eyeing up his spot in the standings, Norris says he has a "big job" on his hands to claw himself back into contention.

    "I don't think it's going to be an easy one because I don't think it's very easy to overtake around here," he said.

    "We have a strong car but clearly not as good as we would like because Max is on pole and George is only 0.1secs behind, so it's not like things are plain sailing at the minute."

    Hello, folks. And Happy Easter! Hope your Sunday has been a good one so far and you're all egged-up and ready to go for round five of the Formula 1 season.

    Red Bull may be struggling to hit the same dominant heights as previous seasons but in Max Verstappen, they have a driver who can produce magic at the turn of a wheel.

    The conclusion of qualifying yesterday was an exciting thrill ride and just when it seemed like Oscar Piastri had claimed his third pole position of the campaign, up popped the four-time world champion to pip him to the post by by 0.01 seconds.

    Lights out at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is at 18:00 BST.
