“Showed everyone why he’s a world champion,” Twitter reacts as Max Verstappen takes a phenomenal win in Saudi Arabia

The Saudi Arabian GP, which started with 19 drivers on the grid saw only 14 drivers crossing the chequered flag, with Max Verstappen, who started P4, being the first one. The race was as eventful and exciting as it sounds with both Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen fighting it out until the last corner of the final lap.

The yellow flag brought out by Williams of Nicholas Latifi also played a crucial role in changing the dynamics of the race as it pushed Sergio Perez down to 4th after the restart. Sergio finished P4 after starting P1, certainly not what the team and the driver would’ve hoped for.

The race was as good as it could get in terms of racing. We saw some great battles. We saw teammates Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso in a battle for sixth with participation from Valtteri Bottas as well.
