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.
