After the red flag caused by Mick Schumacher's crash there is again a standing start at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen started from first place due to a free pit stop, but this time there is great chaos.
Lewis Hamilton had a great start from P2 and it looked like the Brit had regained the lead, but Verstappen didn't give up and took back the first spot despite running off. This causes Hamilton to drop back to P3 behind Esteban Ocon. The Brit is furious on the radio and said he had to avoid a crash with Verstappen.
Chaos at the back of the field
Further back it went wrong. Sergio Perez span and is out of the race and also for George Russell and Nikita Mazepin the race came to an end. Because of this there is another red flag.
