Formula 1: Sergio Perez wins in Saudi Arabia and Fernando Alonso reinstated on podium

Sergio Perez held off team-mate Max Verstappen to take a Red Bull one-two in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Verstappen fought up from 15th on the grid to fourth place before a safety car closed up the field and brought him into contention for victory.

But after passing Mercedes' George Russell and Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso, Verstappen could not catch Perez and had to settle for second.

Alonso was reinstated in third after a post-race penalty was overturned.

The Spaniard had dropped to fourth after being penalised 10 seconds for not serving an earlier five-second penalty for not starting in his grid slot at the beginning of the race.
