Oscar Piastri won the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix to take the lead in the Formula 1 world championship.

Piastri capitalised on an opening-lap penalty for Max Verstappen to jump ahead of the Red Bull driver during the pitstop phase.

Erstwhile championship leader Lando Norris came up just short of recovering to the podium after his Q3 crash, finishing in fourth behind Charles Leclerc.

There were two retirements, both at the start, both as a consequence of the same incident as Yuki Tsunoda and Pierre Gasly came together.
