It was a chaotic opening lap to the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix – held at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
Red Bull faced a disastrous start to the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix with crashes involving Yuki Tsunoda and Pierre Gasly at Turn 4 on the opening lap. Tsunoda’s hit on Gasly’s left-rear caused the Frenchman to hit the barrier. A safety car was deployed, but Tsunoda had to retire after his car inspection by Red Bull. This led to the decision that his car couldn’t continue. Meanwhile, at the front, controversy arose as Max Verstappen cut across the second corner to maintain his lead over Oscar Piastri.
