Red Bull has stamped its authority on the season so far with another one-two finish here in Jeddah, with Max Verstappen winning from team-mate Sergio Perez, in a repeat of last week's race result in Sakhir.

And yet again, a Ferrari driver completed the podium, this time courtesy of Charles Leclerc. In fact, the rest of the top ten was also very similar to the first race with the other Ferrari, driven by Oliver Bearman on his debut (7th) along with two McLarens, two Mercedes and an Aston Martin: the only "gatecrasher" was Nico Hulkenberg, who produced an excellent drive to finish tenth for Haas.

Max Verstappen now has 56 wins to his name and he also secured his one hundredth podium finish from 187 Formula 1 Grand Prix starts, a success rate of 53.48%. It was Red Bull's 115th win, its 30th one-two finish from 371 Grand Prix. The first two races have yielded the Austro-Anglo team 87 of the 88 points available. The only one that escaped them was the point for fastest race lap in Saudi which went to Charles Leclerc.

On the starting grid, 18 of the 20 drivers opted to run the first stint on Medium tyres, the only exceptions being Oliver Bearman and Valtteri Bottas who preferred the Soft.

The Safety Car came out on lap 7 after Lance Stroll hit the barriers, triggering a run of pit stops. Only four drivers - Norris, Hamilton, Hulkenberg and Zhou - decided to stay out on the Medium, delaying their stop as much as possible.

As from lap 30, this quartet began to pit: Hulkenberg on lap 33, Hamilton on 36, Norris on 37, while Zhou went all the way to lap 41. The Haas driver was the only one to fit Hard tyres, with the other three going for Soft to try and make up some places, although they did not manage it.

Of the drivers who saw the chequered flag, only Bottas made two stops (Soft-Hard-Soft).

Results Summary: Verstappen, Perez, Leclerc, Piastri, Alonso, Russell, Bearman, Norris, Hamilton, Hulkenberg, Albon, Magnussen, Ocon, Tsunoda, Sargeant, Ricciardo, Bottas, Zhou, Stroll, Gasly
