Worth Watching Score

4.4

If you’re tuning in for a fight at the front, this one won’t deliver: Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez cruised to a controlled Red Bull 1-2 with little jeopardy. A single safety car triggered routine stops but didn’t shake the order, and strategy stayed pretty straightforward. Most of the entertainment came from the midfield, with about 50 overtakes and two DNFs providing brief spikes of action. Unless you’re a Red Bull fan or curious about Jeddah’s flat-out spectacle, this is a skippable watch.
