Max Verstappen, the Dutch driver from Red Bull Racing, has been the fastest in the free tests leading up to the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Alongside him, Mexican driver Sergio Perez will be competing in the Formula 1 World Championship at the urban circuit of Yeda. Other notable drivers include Carlos Sainz from Ferrari and Fernando Alonso from Aston Martin, both looking to make their mark on the race.
Red Bull Racing, led by team principal Christian Horner, confirmed Verstappen’s continuity as their lead driver, putting an end to internal controversies within the team. The circuit in Yeda is known for being the fastest urban track on the calendar and will host the second Grand Prix of the 2024 season. Like the Bahrain Grand Prix, the race in Saudi Arabia will take place on Saturday due to Ramadan celebrations.
