The Dutch World Champion posted on Instagram that he has since recovered from the stomach bug.
“Feeling fine again, after not being fit for a few days because of a stomach bug,” said Verstappen.
“Therefore, I unfortunately had to postpone my flight for a day, so I won’t be on the track until Friday.”
“See you in Jeddah!”
Verstappen won in dominant form at the Formula 1 season opener in Bahrain, with Red Bull hoping that he can continue his winning form in Saudi Arabia.
