Saudi Arabian Grand Prix team by team

Team by team review of Saturday's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, round two of the 24-race season (listed in their current championship order):

RED BULL (Max Verstappen 1, Sergio Perez 2)

Verstappen's second win of the season, ninth in a row dating back to last September and 56th of his career. It was also the triple champion's 100th podium. He started from pole, pitted along with Perez during the safety car period on lap 7 and regained the lead on lap 13. Perez started third, took second from Leclerc on lap four but collected an ultimately meaningless five second penalty for an unsafe release during the pitstop. Red Bull have won the first two races one-two and go fourth in the all-time lists, ahead of Williams, with their 115th victory.

FERRARI (Charles Leclerc 3, Oliver Bearman 7)

Bearman stood-in for Carlos Sainz after the Spaniard required appendix surgery on Friday. He started 11th and did not make any mistakes as he became Ferrari's youngest ever rookie, aged 18, and Britain's youngest F1 driver. Bearman passed Tsunoda, Zhou and Hulkenberg on track and was voted Driver of the Day. Leclerc started on the front row with Verstappen for the fifth race in a row and secured his first podium of 2024.

MCLAREN (Oscar Piastri 4, Lando Norris 8)

Piastri started fifth and was stuck behind Hamilton for a while. Norris started sixth and led the race when others pitted during the safety car period and he stayed out. The safety car came in on lap nine and Verstappen was ahead four laps later. Another safety car would have helped but did not come.

MERCEDES (George Russell 6, Lewis Hamilton 9)

A disappointing day for Mercedes, which slipped down the order from third to fourth. Russell pitted on lap seven during the safety car while Hamilton
