It has been spotted that a Formula 1 driver was the 'most annoyed he's ever been' during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

On Sunday evening, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix took place around the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

After starting on pole, Max Verstappen was handed a 5-second penalty for an incident with Oscar Piastri at the first corner of the first lap.

The Red Bull driver was adjudged to have gained an advantage off the track, but the decision did not go down well as Verstappen was left seething after the race.

Piastri went on to win and, as a result, became the new leader of the driver's championship.

Further down the pecking order, Racing Bulls currently have the only all-rookie lineup on the grid, with Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson as their drivers.

New Zealander Lawson, who is out to prove a point after being dropped by Red Bull, finished 12th, with Hadjar coming home in 10th place.

However, Hadjar was left frustrated by the Williams pair of Carlos Sainz and Alexander Albon as the trio battled for position.

Speaking about the Frenchman after the race, former Aston Martin strategist Bernie Collins said: "Interestingly, listening to Hadjar’s radio, that was the most annoyed I’ve heard him on the radio when he was trying to get with the Williams, trying to figure out as a team how they were going to attack those two Williams, that was quite interesting."


Meanwhile, three-time W Series winner Jamie Chadwick said of Hadjar: "He’s been able to quietly go about executing his business, picking up points, and today was a great race.

"He went long initially, and managed to sneak himself into the points, and then obviously he was battling with the Williams’ at the very end, and I think the teamwork from the two Williams’ kept him at bay. But still, to pick up a point for the Racing Bulls was a really impressive job."

F1 will return next month with the Miami Grand Prix, which will take place on May 4.
