Red Bull dominated the second Formula 1 Grand Prix of the season at Jeddah on Sunday as Sergio Perez, starting from pole position, won, while team-mate Max Verstappen charged through the field from 15th to finish second. Two-time champion Fernando Alonso, who started on the front row but received a five-second time penalty during the race, finished a distant third in his Aston Martin. He was closely followed by the Mercedes duo of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. The Red Bull pair flipped their finishing positions in the season-opening Bahrain GP. Verstappen, who was stopped by mechanical problems during qualifying, retained the championship lead by taking an extra point for driving the fastest track of the race on his 50th and final lap.
