The Formula 1 World Championship continues with the second race of the championship, after Max Verstappen’s overwhelming victory during the season opener in Bahrain. Now, in Saudi Arabia, drivers like Checo Pérez, Carlos Sainz or Charles Leclerc will try to snatch a victory from the Dutch champion, who has already warned that he is as strong as last season. On the other hand, Fernando Alonso will want to show that he has the potential for more, after a first race in which he finished ninth and scored two points.
