Sergio Perez appeared to be less than thrilled with his Red Bull colleague Max Verstappen after the two of them achieved a 1-2 finish at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin came in third, but was later disqualified for incorrectly serving a penalty, with Mercedes' George Russell taking his place. Perez was in the pole position and maintained the lead until Alonso had served his penalty; however, Verstappen was able to make his way up the order quickly with his Red Bull RB19 being far faster than the rest of the field, and a brief safety car period due to Lance Stroll's stalled Aston Martin car only increased his progress. Perez was cruising at the front with a good gap to Verstappen, and it looked like he would not only win, but take the bonus point for the fastest lap and lead in the championship. Unfortunately, on the very last lap, Verstappen beat him to it, though Perez was well within his rights to do so, and the Mexican appeared displeased.
