Max Verstappen will start today's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in 15th after a power failure during qualifying, presenting his Red Bull team-mate Sergio Pérez ...

But if he manages to pull off that feat on this track, it will surely go down as one of the finest victories of his already storied career. Although surely it’s too early into the season for team orders, isn’t it?! The only ways Max can win are (1) Checo has a mechanical problem, (2) there is a well timed safety car or red flag, or (3) team orders. Lewis Hamilton remained quite honest about his struggles with the Mercedes car in Jeddah after struggling to eighth in Q3. We need to focus on ourselves and find some more performance.” AlphaTauri’s Nyck de Vries explained on Thursday that he’d left his watch on European time until his second day in Jeddah, helping him make the adjustment. While this is a more extreme challenge in Singapore, typically going to bed around 6 a.m. He said that Verstappen’s driveshaft failure yesterday was “unexpected”, and prompted the team to quickly investigate what happened on the car and try to put in some short-term reliability fixes for the race. I don't know which race it was that he started last, so he changed the power unit and still finished P2 or even won the race. Verstappen also has a new gearbox hydraulic system, as well as new rear suspension parts including the driveshaft. But the tension is only going up. I’ve been out for a pre-race wander in the paddock before heading to the grid.

Fernando Alonso stripped of 100th career podium after 10-second ... (PlanetF1)

Fernando Alonso has been demoted for being found to have not served his five-second penalty correctly during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Despite contact with the rear of his car appearing to be minimal, a strict enforcement of the rule has come into place from the FIA and a 10-second penalty was applied, dropping Alonso down a place and putting him back down to 99 career podiums in Formula 1. The Spaniard had already been penalised for lining up in his grid slot incorrectly at the start, his Aston Martin being parked too far to the left and the stewards responding by forcing the Aston Martin driver to wait in his pit box for five seconds before his car could be worked on at his first stop. Fernando Alonso has been demoted from the podium by the FIA stewards for being found to have not served his five-second penalty correctly during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, being given a further 10-second penalty after one of his mechanics made contact with his car before the five seconds had elapsed in the pit lane.

Fernando Alonso loses 100th F1 podium due to postrace penalty (ESPN)

Fernando Alonso has been stripped of what would have been his 100th Formula One podium after a postrace penalty at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

"Today is not good for the fans," the Spaniard said. "If he was third in the race he should enjoy the podium and not me, I feel sorry for George, for Mercedes sponsors, for George's fans." "I feel sorry for the fans, but I enjoyed the podium, I took the trophy, I have the pictures, I celebrate with the champagne, and now 15 or 12 points doesn't change much for me, but it is a little bit sad for the FIA, yes."

Alonso loses podium after penalty as Perez wins Saudi GP (BBC Sport)

Sergio Perez holds off team-mate Max Verstappen to take a Red Bull one-two in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Alonso was too far to the left, and had his left-hand wheels out of the grid box on the track. He served it at his pit stop under the safety car but towards the end of the race Mercedes told Russell to push as hard as he could to keep the margin between the two cars to less than five seconds in case Alonso was penalised for the pit stop itself. In the stop, the mechanic at the back of the car touched it with the rear jack before the penalty time was up and the stewards punished him post-race, giving Russell his first "podium" of the season, even though Alonso stood on it with Red Bull drivers. Verstappen set his mind on trying to set fastest lap and clinched it on the final lap - stealing it from Perez - to ensure he leads the championship by virtue of the point he gained for setting it. Perez was 5.4 seconds in front by the time Verstappen got into second place and was able to hold the margin at about that same amount for the rest of the race. He served it in his pit stop, but it was adjudged that the team had broken the rules by touching the car before the five seconds had elapsed and he was given a 10-second penalty as a result, promoting Russell to third.

While the team believed they were “in the clear,” they wanted to be as safe as possible. The race went on, and Alonso maintained his spot in third place behind the Red Bull duo. When a safety car came out after his teammate Lance Stroll suffered a failure, Alonso served that five-second penalty during his pit stop.

F1 – Pérez wins in Jeddah as Verstappen recovers to P2 with ... (FIA)

Sergio Pérez recovered from losing the lead at the start to pass Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso and claim a clinical Saudi Arabian Grand Prix victory ahead ...

And after 50 laps Pérez crossed the line to take the fifth win of his career. However, following a review of the decision, Alonso was reinstated to third. The Mercedes driver did his best to hold off Max’s charge but on lap 24 his defence faded and Verstappen powered past the Briton into Turn 27 to take P3. The Spanish driver sat out his penalty, moved to hard tyres and rejoined in second place as Verstappen also headed for the pits. The message came back, however, that there was no cause for concern and that he could continue. The move pushed Verstappen further up the order and on lap 15 the champion was in sixth place, just over a second behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc. Pérez now began to eke out a gap at the front and by lap 11 he’d carved out a two-second buffer to Alonso. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, the other out of position starter, was also making his way up the order and by the following lap the Monegasque driver was past Alpine’s Pierre Gasly and into eighth place after starting 12th. Red Bull pitted Pérez and the Mexican moved to hard tyres as Alonso pitted behind him. Verstappen too, was making gains and by lap six he’d risen to 11th place after comfortably dismissing the Haas’ Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen. Sergio Pérez recovered from losing the lead at the start to pass Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso and claim a clinical Saudi Arabian Grand Prix victory ahead of team-mate Max Verstappen who battled his way to second place from 15th place on grid after suffering a technical problem in qualifying. And as the field crossed the line to start the second lap the Spaniard was handed a five-second penalty to be served during his pit stop.

How Fernando Alonso escaped FIA penalty and regained his Saudi ... (ESPN)

Fernando Alonso's 100th F1 career podium will be remembered for the bizarre sequence of events which followed it. Here's how it all unfolded and why there ...

Aston Martin was granted its right to review after sending both the minutes of the SAC meeting and video evidence of seven different instances where a jack had touched a car during a penalty similar to the one Alonso served during the race which were not penalised. It was hoped this had cleared the matter up, but based on its own interpretation of what was actually written in the rules and backed up by previous examples of time penalties being served at pit stops, Aston Martin did not believe that a jack touching the car constituted work taking place. It was only on the final lap that race control had shared a new report with the stewards stating that ROC now did not think the penalty had been properly observed and requesting a full stewards' investigation. Alonso served his penalty at his pit stop on lap 18, during a safety car period triggered by the retirement of his teammate Lance Stroll. F1's sporting regulations dictate that five-second time penalties must be served at the driver's next pit stop, with the clock starting once the car has become stationary and mechanics waiting five seconds before starting work on the car. A yellow line is painted to the right-hand side of the white grid markings to give drivers a visual reference of how far forward they are in their slot, but lining up between the lines relies entirely on the driver's approach to their position.
