Max Verstappen has arrived at the circuit. Red Bull Racing's twitter channel shows that the Dutchman has arrived back at the paddock fit and well and ready to get into the car.

Verstappen arrives in Jeddah

It was a bit of a scare for most fans on Thursday, as Verstappen was not present for the media activities on the paddock. The Red Bull Racing driver had received permission from the FIA to arrive at the circuit a day later as he had been ill.

Verstappen revealed on Thursday that although he was already feeling a lot better, he was still not quite in top form due to stomach flu. Consequently, Verstappen postponed his flight to Saudi Arabia and arrived a day later. Several photos show that Verstappen will be back in the paddock on Friday and will therefore be in action during practice.
