Piastri`s victory at the Saudi Arabian GP highlights his championship potential, with Ferrari`s pit crew excelling and Verstappen facing challenges.

Oscar Piastri showcased his formidable talent by clinching his third victory of the 2025 Formula 1 season at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, finishing 2.8 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen. This win not only solidifies Piastri`s status as a championship contender but also marks a significant milestone as he has already surpassed his entire points total from the previous season within just five races.

Ferrari`s pit crew delivered an exceptional performance, achieving a record 2.00-second pit stop for Charles Leclerc, maintaining their dominance with the fastest stops in all five races this season. This remarkable efficiency contributes to Ferrari`s ongoing podium streak that dates back to 1981, showcasing their consistent performance in the highly competitive F1 landscape.

Lando Norris has made a lifestyle change by adopting a no-alcohol approach to enhance his championship bid following a serious injury in 2024. Meanwhile, telemetry data from Verstappen revealed he carried excessive speed into Turn 1 during the Saudi race, which compromised his cornering and ultimately his chances for victory. Fernando Alonso continues to struggle with qualifying, consistently placing 12th or 13th. McLaren-backed drivers have also made their mark, achieving podium finishes across F1, Formula E, and F1 Academy in Jeddah.
