Saudi Arabia Grand Prix report

Our snap report is now live. Plenty more to come at the link below.

The season now has a couple of weeks off. Next up: the Australian GP on 24 March. Many thanks for reading today, and have a pleasant rest of weekend!

Oliver Bearman speaks!

I’m a little tired. It was as fantastic race, pushing up all the way – I was shocked at how much we were pushing. When I had the two guys on softs bearing down on me … I think we managed it really well – I felt I had a bit extra in hand if I needed it.

There’s a bit more to overtake in F1 than F2 … it requires a bit of extra precision.

Today was the first time since the 2000 Japanese Grand Prix that four British drivers ended up in the points. Back then: David Coulthard in third, with Jenson Button, Eddie Irvine and Johnny Herbert lower down. Today: George Russell, Oliver Bearman, Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton made up spots six to nine.
