Max Verstappen stamps his authority with win in Saudi Arabian GP

Max Verstappen continued Red Bull's dominant start to the season by winning Saturday's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, ahead of teammate Sergio Perez.

Charles Leclerc's Ferrari was third with British teen Oliver Bearman a remarkable seventh on his debut for Ferrari as a late stand-in for Carlos Sainz.

Even after just two races, and despite turmoil at Red Bull, Verstappen looked in complete control as he aims for a fourth consecutive title.

Verstappen started on pole and held off Leclerc at the first corner, as he did last week at the season-opener in Bahrain, before quickly building his lead.

It was Sainz's third grand prix win and first since Singapore last year. But it was a disastrous day for pole-sitter Verstappen, who limped out with smoke billowing from his car after being passed by front-row partner Sainz on lap two.
