Max Verstappen secures a comfortable victory in the Saudi Arabian GP, while Ferrari's Oliver Bearman impresses on his unexpected F1 debut. Verstappen's win marks his second consecutive victory in the 2024 season.
Max Verstappen continued the immaculate start to his quest for a fourth consecutive F1 world title with a comfortable win over Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez in the Saudi Arabian GP, as Ferrari stand-in Oliver Bearman finished a surging seventh and scored points on his unexpected F1 debut.
With Verstappen cantering to his second win in a row at the start of the new 2024 season - and a ninth in succession overall, one shy of his own all-time F1 record - around the high-speed Jeddah street track, much of the focus in the race was again on the fights behind him, with British debutant Bearman capturing much of the attention. The 18-year-old, who had only learned after the opening day of practice had been completed that he would be making his F1 debut this weekend instead of racing in F2 after Carlos Sainz was diagnosed with appendicitis and had to undergo surgery, had already qualified an impressive 11th in a car he had never driven in a sure-footed performance on Frida
