Oscar Piastri took the victory at the the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025 on April 20 at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. This was his third win out of five races this Formula 1 season so far, placing him at the top of the drivers’ standings.
Piastri from McLaren leads the standings by 10 points from teammate Lando Norris with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen two points further back in third.
The Aussie was three points behind Norris going into Sunday’s race. He becomes the first Australian to lead the F1 standings since Mark Webber — who is now Piastri’s manager — in 2010 as a Red Bull driver. No Australian has won the title since Alan Jones in 1980.
What happened At Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025?
Piastri benefited from a penalty for Red Bull’s Max Verstappen to take control of the race and score his second win in a week.
Verstappen was given a five-second penalty for illegally keeping the lead from Piastri by going off the track at the first corner but had more than enough pace to keep second place.
Charles Leclerc was third for Ferrari and Norris recovered from 10th place on the grid after his crash in qualifying to finish fourth behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
