Max Verstappen has won an intense late battle with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc to post his first victory of the season in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The 24-year-old Dutchman, who failed to finish due to a fuel problem in the opening race in Bahrain, passed the Ferrari with four laps to go and won by just half a second, registering his 21st career triumph. Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz finished third ahead of Sergio Perez who started as pole-sitter. Meanwhile Lewis Hamilton recovered to claim the final point in 10th after starting 15th.
