F1 2021: STC Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

The penultimate race of the F1 2021 season welcomes another new track, Jeddah, for the first-ever Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. With Max Verstappen's first title is within grasp, looks like Lewis Hamilton, thanks to his pole position, is going to ruin his moment as he'll do everything in his power to balance it out until the very end.

As the rivalry between Hamilton and Verstappen intensified in their new battleground, Mick Schumacher triggered the first red flag in Jeddah with a horrifying crash while both Mercedes drivers Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas pit and Verstappen lead behind the safety car, giving him a chance to enter the pit stop. As the race resumed, Hamilton regained the lead, Verstappen pulled a double overtake, and rivals collide. The action in Saudi Arabia never felt so alive.
