Saudi Arabian GP Review: Wacky Races

Who will become world champion in Abu Dhabi?

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was as mad as we expected it to be, with Jeddah providing jostling and jeopardy throughout the weekend.

Be it Max Verstappen putting in a scintillating lap in the death of qualifying before crashing on the final lap, the clash of the titans of Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton on multiple occasions or the last ditch sprint to the finish. There was quite a bit that went on - and we probably forgot a few things. Below is a list so that you can get the knits but listen to Joe, Jimmy and myself dissect it all in this week’s podcast.

  • Mercedes lead away

  • Mick Schumacher crashes

  • Verstappen takes the lead

  • 2nd red flag

  • Estaban Ocon moved to pole, Verstappen P3

  • Verstappen leads again

  • Verstappen told to give place back after running Hamilton wide

  • Verstappen & Lewis Hamilton collide

  • Verstappen lets Hamilton past, Verstappen retakes lead

  • Hamilton through to win

  • Hamilton and Verstappen now level on points for an Abu Dhabi showdown
