F1: Max Verstappen dominates in Arabia, Leclerc on podium. What a Bearman!
New grand prix, new victory for Max Verstappen: the three-time world champion Red Bull driver after Saturday’s pole took the win in Sunday’s race in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the second round of the Formula 1 World Championship. Once again the Dutch driver, in his 56th career victory, demonstrated his strength: on the podium with him was teammate Sergio Perez, who completed another Red Bull one-two, and Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc, third.
Ferrari leaves Jeddah with a smile: the Monegasque driver è was the author of a solid test, and signed in the final the fastest lap in 1:31:632. But the happiest note è was the excellent seventh place of rookie Oliver Bearman: at 18 years old, the English kid replacing Carlos Sainz took his chance in full, showing what he è is capable of, and managed to finish ahead of Norris and seven-time world champion and future Ferrarista Lewis Hamilton.
Also in the top ten were Piastri and Alonso, finishing fourth and fifth, respectively. Then the first Mercedes è was that of Russell, who è put himself behind Bearman, Norris, Hamilton and Hulkenberg.
