Red Bull double in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Sergio Perez wins ahead of teammate and world champion Max Verstappen.
Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin was third.
Sainz's Ferrari is sixth ahead of his partner Leclerc.
"Much tougher race than I expected with the Safety Car. We had done a good job in the first stint, but it seemed like the SC wanted to take the win away from us. This track owed me the win from last year, it's finally here."
So Sergio Perez after winning the Formula 1 GP of Saudi Arabia.
"The team did a fantastic job throughout the weekend - said the Mexican - we had several problems but the mechanics have always been on the spot and have been great at solving them. I'm really happy, it's time to celebrate. Championship? Great start, we will continue to push hard".
For world champion Max Verstappen "it wasn't so easy to recover. In the first sector we slipped a lot.
But when I passed everyone we got into our rhythm and I'm very happy to be on the podium.
We had no way to catch Checo (Perez, ed), so I decided to give up and settle for second place.
Still, it was a good comeback.
I gave everything in the end to sign the fastest lap".
