Piastri victorious in Jeddah as Verstappen gets 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.
