JEDDAH: Red Bull’s Max Verstappen claimed his second Saudi Arabian Grand Prix win in three years in devastating style at Jeddah Corniche Circuit, to leave rival drivers and even teammate Sergio Perez wondering what they will have to do to keep him in their sights, never mind challenge for first place.
The reigning and three-time world champion started on pole, ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Red Bull’s Perez, and proceeded to cruise to one of the most comfortable victories of a career already packed with commanding triumphs.
