This race weekend had everything and some things we really didn't need! Formula One return to Jeddah in just a few months after its inaugural grand prix last year and the fast and undulating track resulted in one banger of a race. A battle for P1 against Leclerc and Verstappen raged on, Pink Cars battling it out, a charging Hamilton and so much more! Here is our review of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
