The next double victory! The Formula 1 competition despairs of Red Bull. "We had good pace, as the fastest lap proves," said Ferrari man Charles Leclerc after the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. However, it was "a bit boring" because Red Bull was so fast.

"We scored the maximum points and that was the goal," emphasized the Monegasque.

For the second time this season, the Scuderia was the strongest team behind the "bulls".

Second race, second double victory
Once again, there was no getting past Max Verstappen. The Dutchman took a commanding victory on Saturday at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit ahead of his Mexican Red Bull team-mate and last year's winner Sergio Perez (+13.643 seconds).

Here is the championship standings:

It was the second double victory in the second race of the season for the Austrian-British racing team. Leclerc completed the podium with a respectable gap of 18.639 seconds.
