Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Red Bull driver Max Verstappen won Saturday’s Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix as the defending three-time champion consolidated his lead in the individual standings after winning the first two races of the 2024 season.<\/p>\n

Verstappen dominated the 50-lap Jeddah race as the Dutchman reached the checkered flag first in a time of one hour, 20 minutes and 43.273 seconds.<\/p>\n

He won the season opener March 2 in Bahrain.<\/p>\n

Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez from Mexico finished second at Jeddah Corniche Circuit, 13.643 seconds behind.<\/p>\n

Ferrari’s Monegasque racer Charles Leclerc came third.<\/p>\n

Leclerc’s Ferrari teammate for the Saudi Arabian GP, Oliver Bearman, 18, completed the race in the seventh spot to secure points in his debut.<\/p>\n

British teen Bearman replaced Ferrari’s experienced Spanish racer Carlos Sainz as the 29-year-old missed Saturday’s race because of appendicitis. Sainz required surgery, his team said.<\/p>\n

The Formula 1 will next travel to Melbourne for the Australian Grand Prix on March 24, which will be Round 3 of the season.<\/p>\n
