F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix LIVE: Explosion rocks practice as Verstappen asks ‘is my car on fire’ in ‘fuel depot attack’

F1 is in Saudi Arabia for another weekend of fast paced desert action.

But the practice has been rocked by an explosion at the nearby Aramco oil plant.

Amid all the talk about Lewis Hamilton’s bid to wrestle the world championship back of Max Verstappen, it was Ferrari who dominated in Bahrain.

Charles Leclerc took pole with team-mate Carlos Sainz in second.

Red Bull appeared to have more pace than McLaren but disaster struck towards the end of the race when both Verstappen and Sergio Perez were forced to retire with engine failures.
