In a thrilling showdown at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing secured yet another victory, maintaining the team’s flawless start to the season.

Verstappen’s stellar performance on Saturday propelled him to the top of the podium, with Sergio Perez closely following in second place.

The podium was completed by Charles Leclerc of Ferrari, whose outstanding third-place finish showcased the competitive spirit of the Italian team.

However, it was British teen Oliver Bearman who stole the spotlight with a remarkable seventh-place finish in his Formula 1 debut for Ferrari.

Eighteen-year-old Bearman’s entry into the race was unexpected, as he was called up to replace the ailing Carlos Sainz just before the third practice session on Friday.

Despite the pressure, Bearman’s impressive debut earned him the title of “driver of the day,” drawing praise from Leclerc and fellow competitors alike.

With this victory, Verstappen not only secured his ninth consecutive win but also celebrated his 100th career podium finish, solidifying his status as a formidable contender in the world of Formula 1.

Oscar Piastri of McLaren crossed the finish line in fourth place, followed closely by Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin. The top 10 positions were rounded out by George Russell of Mercedes, Lando Norris of McLaren, Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes, and Nico Hulkenberg of Haas.

Verstappen’s triumph at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix reaffirmed Red Bull Racing’s dominance on the track, setting the stage for an exhilarating season ahead in the world of Formula 1.
