Oliver Rowland set the fastest lap time in the opening practice session for the Diriyah E-Prix in Saudi Arabia. Construction work near the street circuit left the track dusty, making track evolution crucial. Pascal Wehrlein initially took the lead after the checkered flag, but was quickly surpassed by Mitch Evans. Sergio Sette Camara and Rowland then took the top positions, with Rowland securing first place. Jean-Eric Vergne, Stoffel Vandoorne, and Jake Dennis followed in second, third, and fourth places respectively. The session was extended due to a red flag caused by Sebastien Buemi, who experienced a battery issue and finished in last place.
