2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

The 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 STC Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025) was a Formula One motor race held on 20 April 2025 at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It was the fifth round of the 2025 Formula One World Championship. Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing took pole position for the event, his second of the season, but lost out to Oscar Piastri of McLaren in the race, who capitalised on a mistake made by teammate Lando Norris in qualifying to take his third win of the season. The podium was completed by Verstappen and Charles Leclerc, the latter taking Ferrari's first podium of the season. Following his second consecutive Grand Prix victory, Piastri became the first Australian to lead the Championship since Mark Webber at the 2010 Japanese Grand Prix. With 99 points, he build a gap by ten points to Norris, who dropped down to second after failing to score a podium, with Verstappen twelve points behind Piastri in third. In the Constructors' Championship, the top four remained unchanged, with McLaren extending its lead in the standings to 77 points. Williams regained fifth spot in the standings as both of their drivers claimed points-scoring finishes.
