The Formula 1 circus has set up its big top in Jeddah for just the third time ever as the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix returns.
The lights went out on the 2023 campaign in Bahrain two weekends ago, where fans were looking forward to seeing the balance of power and, hopefully, a close fight for the win. Unfortunately they were disappointed, as no-one could even come close to the rampaging Red Bulls.
Max Verstappen sped off the line and into the distance, barely breaking a sweat on the way to an ominously dominant victory. Sergio Perez was a dozen seconds down the road, while the nearest car which didn't have Red Bull branding all over it was Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin – 38 seconds off the lead.
