Saudi GP win sees Piastri open lead over teammate Norris

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia — Oscar Piastri has shown he has the pace to fight for the Formula One title. In winning the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Sunday, he showed he can win an argument, too.

For the first time this season, a penalty played a key role in deciding a race win, as Piastri went top of the standings with his victory.

Piastri's two earlier wins this season had been dominant drives from pole position. This time he had to get past four-time champion Max Verstappen.
