Piastri takes victory at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix ahead of Verstappen!
A commanding victory at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix marked Oscar Piastri’s third win of the season, positioning the Australian as the new leader in the Drivers’ Championship.
Early drama at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
The Jeddah Corniche Circuit witnessed immediate drama as the race began, with pole-sitter Max Verstappen and Piastri, starting second, battling fiercely into the first corner, Verstappen ultimately cutting the apex to take the lead. However, a five-second penalty for this move later relegated the Dutchman behind Piastri after his pit stop. Lando Norris, recovering from a P10 start due to a Saturday qualifying incident, briefly led as the early leaders pitted, having started on hard tyres for a longer first stint. But once Norris pitted for medium tyres, Piastri reclaimed the top spot, steadily building a lead. From that point, the 24-year-old Australian remained unchallenged, crossing the finish line 2.8 seconds ahead of Verstappen’s Red Bull, while Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc secured third place, marking his first podium finish of the season.
