Wins Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Piastri won the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Formula 1 race at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on Sunday evening.

Impact Piastri would seemingly cover Max Verstappen well as the two battled into turn 1 after the lights out. It would look like the McLaren youngster lead but Verstappen would go off course in the turn to stay ahead of him. A few laps later the stewards would slap Verstappen with a 5-second penalty and Piastri would ride P2 until pitstops and that penalty could be assessed. Once stops cycled through, Piastri would take the lead on lap 34. From there he'd hold Verstappen at bay and cross the finish line 2.8-seconds ahead of the Dutchman for his third victory of the season.
