Overview

  • Oscar Piastri triumphed at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, marking his third win of the season and becoming the new Drivers’ Championship leader.
  • Max Verstappen, starting from pole, received a five-second penalty for cutting the first corner, which ultimately cost him the lead to Piastri during pit stops.
  • Charles Leclerc delivered Ferrari's first podium of the season, finishing third after successfully managing his tires during the race.
  • The race began with a dramatic collision between Yuki Tsunoda and Pierre Gasly, leading to Gasly's retirement and an early safety car deployment.
  • Piastri's strategic undercut during the pit stops and multiple fastest laps solidified his control of the race, setting a strong precedent for the upcoming Miami Grand Prix.
