In the recent Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen clinched his 56th career victory, leading ahead of his teammate Sergio Perez and Charles Leclerc of Scuderia Ferrari, who secured the third position (P3). Leclerc's podium finish marks a significant achievement for Ferrari, with the driver expressing optimism about the team's progress in recent months. The race also saw various strategies unfold, with Lando Norris reflecting on a gamble that did not pay off due to not pitting during the safety car at the race's start. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton highlighted the need for 'big changes' after Mercedes secured a ninth-place finish, indicating a performance gap. The event was not without its challenges, as Pierre Gasly faced the season's first retirement, a setback for the Alpine team.
