Red Bull did claim another victory at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix on Sunday, but that success for Sergio Perez did not impact the very top of the early 2023 drivers' standings.

Max Verstappen still leads the way but now by only a single point after a breathtaking dash from P15 to claim P2 and the fastest lap of the race.

Fernando Alonso once again DOES HAVE the 100th podium of a glittering career. After finishing P3 on track he was demoted following a post-race penalty, but now that penalty has been overturned and he moves back above George Russell.

Here is how the action in Jeddah impacted the standings:
