Red Bull had a phenomenal race weekend in Saudi Arabian GP. Sergio Perez outperformed the Ferrari duo to get his first pole position in qualifying. Then, on the race day, Max Verstappen claimed his first victory in the Jeddah circuit. However, what you might have missed during the race weekend was that the Red Bull crew found some time to play around.
