Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2024 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Max Verstappen maintained his perfect start to the 2024 season with a dominant victory under the lights of Jeddah's high-speed street circuit. The Red Bull driver secured back-to-back wins to open the championship, leading home teammate Sergio Perez for the team's second consecutive one-two finish.

Starting from pole position, Verstappen controlled the race from the front, navigating the treacherous walls and blind corners of the Jeddah Corniche Circuit with clinical precision. Perez delivered a solid drive to finish second, continuing his strong form from Bahrain and consolidating Red Bull's early stranglehold on both championships. Charles Leclerc secured third place for Ferrari, setting the fastest lap of the race and showing improved pace compared to the season opener.

The result extended Verstappen's winning streak and Red Bull's ominous early-season form. With two wins from two races and maximum points in the Constructors' Championship, Red Bull appeared poised for another dominant campaign. The performance around the demanding Jeddah circuit demonstrated the RB20's versatility across different track characteristics, though challenges from Ferrari and an emerging McLaren threat would soon disrupt this early momentum.
