The Australian driver calmly navigated his way to his third victory of the season, winning the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and placing himself 10 points ahead of teammate Lando Norris in the driver standings.

Max Verstappen was ‘disrespectful’ on F1 podium in Saudi Arabia, says Johnny Herbert - Verstappen was given a five-second penalty in Jeddah and was visibly annoyed after finishing second
