Verstappen done the most Overtakes with eight. Full details in the post.
The 2023 Saudi Arabian GP had 36 overtakes of which 17 were shown live. Last year had 32 overtakes and there were 27 in 2021. This might be the highest total at Jeddah but that certainly does not make a more entertaining race. This years total greatly benefited from Verstappen starting out of position and some lower midfield scraps particularly just after the safety car.
