Red Bull’s Max Verstappen continued his red-hot form to top the FP2 standings under the lights ahead of Sunday’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah. Verstappen's team-mate Sergio Perez finished third with Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso sandwiched in between, a narrow 0.208 seconds adrift of the current champion. Ad It wasn’t all plain sailing for Verstappen, though — who won the season opener in Bahrain two weeks ago — as he reported “really bad” problems with the downshift over the team radio.
