Sergio Perez cruises to his fifth win as Max Verstappen puts on a clinic.
Red Bull Racing maintained its impressive start to the 2023 Formula 1 season in Saudi Arabia – though this time it was Sergio Perez who led home World Champion Max Verstappen. Autoweek rounds up the talking points from the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner affirmed that both drivers were informed they had free rein to push for fastest lap, before going on to laud his team’s job across the opening pair of events. “Today is not good for the fans when you have 35 laps to apply the penalty and inform about the penalty and you wait after the podium,” said Alonso. “There is something really wrong in the system, it’s the way it is, I feel sorry for the fans, but I really enjoyed the podium, I took the trophy, I have the pictures, I celebrate with the champagne and now [scoring] 15 or 12 points doesn’t change much for me. But it is a little bit sad for the FIA yes.
A downbeat Charles Leclerc said that “we didn’t have the pace to challenge for much better today” and “the pace is just not good enough.” “We went onto the mediums, then they dropped off, but it’s too difficult to overtake, we’re not quick enough in the straights as well, so it was a tough one,” said Norris. “It was a bit worse in the race than we were hoping for, we struggled in the dirty air too much. Nothing new, just confirmation of what we have and what we struggle with.
