Oscar Piastri took victory at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix to move into the lead of the Formula 1 drivers’ championship. The McLaren man sealed his third win of the season, going back to back after taking the chequered flag in Bahrain last week as he benefitted from an early penalty against polesitter Max Verstappen.

Oscar Piastri made the most of a five-second penalty for Max Verstappen to claim a third season victory at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix on Sunday which sent him to the top of the Formula One championship.

Verstappen received a five-second time penalty for an incident at the 2025 Jeddah race but refused to speak much about his objections
