Teammate duels already showing who has the advantage at some teams
A driver's first opponent is his teammate. With exactly the same equipment, your teammate is the one you want to beat first. How do the duels between the drivers stand? Here is the complete overview of all teammate duels.
At the top, it is clear who is number one at Red Bull Racing. As in previous years, Max Verstappen sets the tone in the duel with Sergio Perez. George Russell has also started his year at Mercedes well, although it must be said that this was also the case last year. During the year, Russell then slumped.
Who will win the duel with his teammate?
At Ferrari, there was a change this weekend with Oliver Bearman. The young Briton impressed by reaching Q2 and sitting not far off Leclerc. Oscar Piastri also did good business again by narrowly beating Lando Norris in qualifying. At Aston Martin, Williams and Alpine, things are clearly falling in favour of one driver for the time being, while Yuki Tsunoda also shows he is not inferior to Daniel Ricciardo.
The Stake and Haas scores were not included after qualifying in Saudi Arabia. Guanyu Zhou could not set a time in qualifying due to a crash in FP3 and Nico Hulkenberg's session also ended through no fault of his own due to car problems.
