Heading into the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix there are a number of quick drivers out of position and a fierce battle for the podium in store, making strategy as crucial as ever. So here are some of the options that are available to the teams on race day in Jeddah…

Looking after the rear tyres was the key to being quick in the opening race of the season, but Jeddah doesn’t place so much emphasis on traction due to the high speed corners and a track surface that is far less abrasive.
