Formula 1 teams and drivers have been told that the Saudi Arabian GP is continuing as planned following a fire at an oil depot close to the circuit, which Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim was an attack by the group.

A large black smoke cloud could be seen from the F1 track towards the end of first practice, and Max Verstappen reported on team radio that he could smell "burning" from the cockpit of his Red Bull car.

Practice continued as normal, though there was a 15-minute delay to the start of second practice as drivers and team principals met with F1 president Stefano Domenicali and the FIA's Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
