Another Red Bull 1-2 - this time with Perez ahead of Verstappen - and some post-race drama were some of the highlights of the SaudiArabianGP. Here are 10 things we learned from the Jeddah weekend: F1
For the second race in a row, Formula 1 witnessed a Red Bull domination, as Sergio Perez led home Max Verstappen in the third Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
In this one, Perez continued what has rather becoming a bad habit of slower cars getting ahead with a poor start. He re-passed Alonso relatively easily on lap four of 50 given Red Bull's mighty top speed allied with DRS, but it was an error nevertheless. Given its reliability struggles in Bahrain it was logical to wonder if the Ferrari engine is now running turned down from maximum power, as it was for the second half of 2022. Team boss Fred Vasseur coyly said post-race,"we were with the same set-up in quali and the race". This concerns the one power mode rule only – not if Ferrari was avoiding its best settings overall.3.
There might've been no chance of stopping the Red Bulls coming by when they did, but Alonso's qualifying speed and tyre preservation prowess here suggests if Aston can get everything right and Red Bull doesn't, or perhaps a tight track such as Monaco is the competition, the chance to nick a sensational win is surely on.
His fourth place there to edge out Lance Stroll's faster Aston meant he started ahead of Hamilton for the second successive race. That alone is impressive, but it's combined with Russell then driving away from the seven-time world champion late in Sunday's race. They were of course on off-set tyre strategies, but Hamilton had the race pace legs on Russell in Bahrain and it was a different story for round two.
The FIA will review the rule in question ahead of the Australian GP next up, but the whole incident has kicked off yet another rules implementation saga for the governing body, this time over something that had long been understood as a hard-and-fast issue by F1 observers.
Getting very fortunate timing around the safety car period aided Tsunoda, as he was the first driver in a position to pit when it started. The gain got him up to eighth and ahead of the Alpine pair and while they inevitably demoted him, for 20 laps he then defied Kevin Magnussen. Only the Dane's considerable bravery thrusting his Haas's nose to Turn 1's inside ended their battle.
