Laps 36 and 37 of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix saw three drivers retire in quick succession, with Fernando Alonso, Valtteri Bottas and Daniel Ricciardo all dropping out in three separate incidents.
Alonso – who’d battled hard with team mate Esteban Ocon earlier in the race – was the first to suffer issues, as he reported “no power” to the Alpine pit wall.
