It was a stellar weekend for Oracle Red Bull Racing’s Sergio Perez, who turned a pole position into triumph at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Sunday. That safety car — we really did a job in the first stint, but that safety car again tried to take the victory from us in Jeddah – but not this time! Despite starting near the rear of the field, Verstappen quickly worked his way to second position. However, the 25-year-old was unable to challenge Perez after the same driveshaft concerns emerged late in the race. I’m really happy for them and it’s time to celebrate.”. After two races, Verstappen holds a one-point lead in the standings over teammate Perez.
