Piastri victorious in Jeddah as Verstappen gets penalty
The Independent
|April 21, 2025
Oscar Piastri moved ahead of Lando Norris and into the F1 drivers’ championship lead with victory at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix as Max Verstappen paid the price for a first-lap penalty.
Pole-sitter Verstappen was penalised for cutting the corner at turn one to stay ahead of Piastri, allowing the McLaren man to jump in front at the pit stops and he never looked back.
Piastri made it back-to-back wins and three for the season to move 10 points ahead of teammate Norris at the top of the standings – the first Australian to lead since Mark Webber in 2010.
Norris labelled himself a “fucking idiot” after crashing in qualifying and admitted he’d made life difficult for himself starting from 10th.
But he limited the damage with a strong race to finish fourth and is two points ahead of Verstappen. Charles Leclerc claimed third for Ferrari with Mercedes’ George Russell fifth.
