Formula 1/ Piastre triumphs in Saudi Arabia, Leclerc enters the podium

Oscar Piastri (McLaren-Mercedes) has achieved his third victory in the first five races of the Formula 1 season, triumphing in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

The Australian driver, who won a week ago in Bahrain and earlier in Shanghai, thus takes the lead in the overall standings in the World Championship.

Second place went to defending champion Max Verstappen (Red Bull), who started the race from pole position but missed out on the chance to win after being handed a five-second penalty for cutting the first corner during a duel with Piastrini early in the race. The penalty was applied during his only pit stop.

The podium was completed by Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), who secured third place after an impressive performance and withstood great pressure from Lando Norris (McLaren), who was forced to settle for fourth place.
