It was a race to the finish between Red Bull Racing and Ferrari at the 2022 Formula One Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Round two of the new season, held at Jeddah Corniche Circuit, saw brilliant racing throughout and a climax that saw Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc trade places several times until Verstappen managed to pull in front in the closing seconds and finish first. Leclerc would cross the line half a second behind.
It was Perez who started on pole, and early on it looked like he would be the winner. But on lap 15, Perez stopped to changes tires and immediately after that, Williams' Nicolas Latifi crashed into the barriers, prompting the virtual safety car to be declared and causing Perez to lose the lead to Leclerc. Verstappen also managed to jump ahead of his teammate at this point.Perez would also lose a position to Sainz but would continue fighting from fourth.
Further down was Mercedes-Benz AMG's George Russell, who drove impressively to finish fifth. Russell's teammate, Lewis Hamilton, never really recovered from his poor qualifying on Saturday due to the trial of a new car setup. He finished in 10th place on Sunday after starting at 15th on the grid. Following the weekend's action, Leclerc continues to lead the 2022 Drivers' Championship thanks to a tally of 45 points. Sainz is second with 33 points and Verstappen has now moved into third with 25 points. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari leads with 78 points, versus the 38 of Mercedes and 37 of Red Bull. The next race on the calendar is the Australian Grand Prix on April 10.
