Driver Max Verstappen (Red Bull team) won overwhelmingly in F1 - broadcast exclusively on K+ - in the first round of Bahrain GP and the second round of Jeddah.
The second round in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) took place on March 10, featuring the fastest street race track today. With its high-speed characteristics, this location is where the raw power of the 2024 models is shown. Max Verstappen - F1 (Formula 1) champion for the last three seasons - completed 50 laps in 1 hour 20 minutes 43 seconds, maintaining the overall lead.
The performance marked the Dutchman's ninth consecutive dominant victory, just one race short of the record set by Verstappen himself last year.

Red Bull improved their lead as their driver Sergio Perez finished second, safe from penalty. Leclerc finished third, taking the fastest lap point on the final lap from Hamilton. Piastri was fourth, Alonso fifth and Russell sixth.
Bearman finished 7th, the next three positions in the top 10 were Norris, Hamilton and Hülkenberg respectively. The fact that two Red Bull drivers consecutively took the top spot will motivate other teams (Ferrari, Mercedes or McLaren) to aim to overthrow this empire, promising to be exciting in the next round.
Previously on March 3, Verstappen won convincingly at the Bahrain GP, finishing after 1 hour 31 minutes 44 seconds 742, 22 seconds more than the runner-up. He became the first racer to win a Grand Slam in the opening round of F1, after Michael Schumacher in 2004, equaling the German legend with 5 Grand Slams. This is also the 55th championship of Verstappen's career and the 18th in the last 19 Grand Prix.
Riders will have a week off before the season resumes in Melbourne, Australia, March 22-24.
This year, F1 2024 has the longest race schedule in history, with 24 races, contributing to increasing revenue and enhancing the attractiveness and drama of the tournament. The new challenge for the team that wants to win the championship is the triple-header - a series of three consecutive races in three weeks. Specifically, the Spanish leg starts on June 21-23, Austria (June 28-30), England (July 5-7), followed by the US (October 18-20), Mexico (October 25-27), Brazil (November 1-3). The season will end with the final race series in Las Vegas (November 21-23), Qatar (December 29-1), Abu Dhabi (December 6-8).
This is the first time in history that all the drivers and teams that competed in the final round of the previous season have been retained in the following race. Apart from the Red Bull duo Verstappen - Perez, Lewis Hamilton - George Russell are still together in the Mercedes squad, however the runner-up team has just had a disappointing season when they have been continuously left behind by Red Bull.
Carlos Sainz - Charles Leclerc still wear the same Ferrari shirt, also experienced erratic performance last year, need to maintain stability in the final year of the contract.
