Yay, they finally played padel with Carlos. 😌

"Ah, that was Gabi as well. He might not have a flight home tonight." - Oscar Piastri in reference to the Bortoleto/Alonso incident 😂 He's a secret comedian for real. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Did not see it coming that Verstappen would be DOTD 😅 I've been wrong on those decisions almost the entire season. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Both Williams and Isack Hadjar ended the race in the points! Good on them! #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Lando Norris has missed the podium, but finished the race on P4. Considering that Jeddah isn't a great track for overtaking and he started on P10, this isn't too bad (although he surely won't see it like that). #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

And Oscar Piastri has won the #SaudiArabianGP and with it also leads the WDC for now! #F1

Nicole Piastri being a relatable #F1 mom again. #SaudiArabianGP

Are we going to see a fight for P3? It's gonna be close with 4 laps to go. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

No further action on whatever they thought had happened. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Oh boy, did Lando Norris fail to follow instructions and cross the white line at the pit? That's a penalty he doesn't need, but nothing official yet #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Those are the downsides of a city track. Random people can just have red blinking lights that distract and confuse the drivers. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Liam Lawson has received a 10-second-penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage. He's currently P11 and out of the points. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Who's your Driver of the Day? I voted for Charles Leclerc because that was some serious tyre whispering today. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Lance Stroll is the only driver who has yet to pit after McLaren did a stellar job with Lando's pit stop. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Norris is trying to extend his stint on the hard tyres, but the dirty air is not ideal for Piastri. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

I still think it's insane that Leclerc nursed that medium tyre until lap 30. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

bwoah indeed #F1

Leclerc has really decent lap times considering he's on medium tyres. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Verstappen has exited the pit behind Piastri (and Hamilton) #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Those pit stops felt very slow ... #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

And Norris has passed Antonelli and is now on P5. Piastri is now attempting an undercut and has pitted. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

We are slowly approaching the pit window for the medium tyres, which starts around lap 16 according to Pirelli. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Hamilton is not letting Norris pass as easily. Some nice back and forth between the two right now. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Piastri is really doing his best to stay in that DRS window to Verstappen. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Norris has just overtaken Sainz and is now on P7. Carlos didn't put up much of a fight tbh. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Verstappen just cussed on the radio upon finding out about his penalty. Honestly, not ideal with the new FIA regulations 🙄 (which, just to be clear, I think are ridiculous) #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

DRS has been enabled. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Max Verstappen has received a 5-second-penatly for going off track at the start of the race. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Safety car is ending at the end of this lap. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

The incident is under investigation with the stewards. Could be seen as gaining and advantage for Verstappen or that Piastri was forcing another driver off the track, depending on who will review it. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Nevermind, Yuki Tsunoda also has to retire the car. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Bad luck for Pierre Gasly. The race is over for him, but Yuki Tsunoda can continue the race as far as we can tell now. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

I don't really know if Oscar Piastri was ahead of Verstappen when Max cut a corner. I think I need a replay of that scene. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Safety car has been deployed. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

And we have the first crash. I believe it's Yuki Tsunoda and Pierre Gasly. Likely won't suffice to just wave a yellow flag here ... #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

The first 9 drivers are starting the race on medium tyres. Lando Norris on P10 will start on a hard tyre. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Four different constructors are starting on the first four starting positions. A sign for a good season. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

10 minutes to go until the start of the #SaudiArabianGP! #F1

Such a close qualifying! Even with Oscar starting on P2, I have a feeling that McLaren can't fully be happy with this outing. The car looked so promising, but in the end, the other teams were closer than expected. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Results after Q3 P1: Max Verstappen P2: Oscar Piastri P3: George Russell P4: Charles Leclerc P5: Kimi Antonelli P6: Carlos Sainz P7: Lewis Hamilton P8: Yuki Tsunoda P9: Pierre Gasly P10: Lando Norris #F1 #SaudiArabianGP

Correction - it's a red flag! Norris went over the curbs too hard and lost the car. He has radioed that he's okay. #F1 #SaudiArabianGP
