Summary

Was Oliver Bearman's F1 debut the best ever? Max Verstappen claimed his ninth win in a row – so would he really ever consider leaving such a dominant team? How has Sergio Perez changed his mindset?

In the Jeddah paddock, Tom Clarkson is joined by Alpine reserve driver Jack Doohan, Fox Sports Mexico journalist Diego Mejia, and Aston Martin driver ambassador Pedro de la Rosa to answer all the big questions from the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Jock Clear, head of the Ferrari Driver Academy, tells F1 Nation why he’s not surprised by Bearman’s performance, Pedro discusses whether Aston Martin have closed the gap to Red Bull, and Jack explains why Alpine were expecting such a slow start to the season.

Plus, F1 Academy Managing Director Susie Wolff shares her verdict on a dramatic opening round of 2024.
