Dutch driver Max Verstappen (Red Bull) clinched a commanding victory at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the second race out of 24 in the Formula 1 season, on Saturday at the Jeddah street circuit.
The reigning triple world champion, who started from pole position, secured the 56th win of his career, his ninth consecutive one, and outpaced his teammate, Mexican Sergio Pérez, just like last weekend in Bahrain.
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi militants fired on Saudi oil installations in two ports on the Red Sea coast on Saturday, but the United States held back from launching air strikes on Iran itself for the first night in two weeks.
Yemen is edging towards the resumption of a more than decade-old frozen conflict, Yemeni officials, Western diplomats and analysts say, as attacks on Saudi infrastructure and shipping by Iran-aligned Houthis test the patience of the kingdom and the Yemeni government forces it backs.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that a civilian nuclear cooperation deal signed with Saudi Arabia a day earlier is "totally subject" to the kingdom normalizing relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords, adding a significant condition that was not part of the original agreement as announced.
