Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur has suggested an unlikely sequence of events that would see Sergio Perez take a whopping lead of 100 points over Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen in the F1 title race.
Reigning champion Verstappen is firm favourite to clam a third successive world crown this season following Red Bull's ominous start in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.
Perez held off Verstappen's late surge with a fine performance to win in Jeddah, but his irrepressible teammate maintained an edge in the early drivers' standings by snatching a point for the fast lap in the closing sages of the race.
