JEDDA, Saudi Arabia. Max Verstappen will arrive at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Friday a day late after suffering a stomach ailment earlier this week.

Verstappen tweeted that he had to postpone his flight to Jeddah due to illness.
Feeling good again after being out of shape for a few days due to a stomach problem. So I, unfortunately, had to postpone my flight for a day, so I won’t be on the track until Friday. See you in Jeddah!
