F1 Results Today: Saudi Arabia Grand Prix 2023

Red Bull claimed another victory in Sunday's Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, but not from the expected source.

It was Mexican Sergio Perez who came home in front at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, ahead of team-mate Max Verstappen.

Even the flying Dutchman couldn't manage to turn a P15 grid position into full points, though he did cut through the field to finish second.

Fernando Alonso again claimed the final spot on the podium after another fine drive for Aston Martin. It didn't come without a scare though - he was demoted following a post-race penalty and later reinstated into P3 after the penalty was overturned.
