Sovereign in Jeddah: Ferstappen snatched first place from Leclerc for the first win of the season
Max Ferstappen managed to claim victory in the second game of the season at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, three laps before the final, by passing Leclerc. Saint’s podium closed while polesitter Sergio Perez finished fourth.
The second match of the year at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was agony right up to the last moment. Max Ferstappen is his winner in Jeddah, overtaking Charles Leclerc, who seemed to have the first word in the fight, with three laps to go.
Ferrari made it 2-3 in Saudi Arabia with Sainth in 3rd place to start from. Bad luck for Sergio Perez, who lost the lead when he substituted just before the safety car.
In the drivers’ standings, Leclerc is in first place with 44 points. Saint is second with 25 points while Max Ferstappen is in 3rd place with 25 points.
The league standings:
Where the win was counted
After a virtual safety car, due to the abandonment of Alonso and Ricciardo, the gap between Leclerc and Ferstappen decreased. The Dutch driver approached Monegasco and attacked.
The Ferrari driver, using his engine power but also his skills, successfully defended himself in the first phase, because although he temporarily lost the first position, he managed to regain it.
On the 47th lap, Max Ferstappen overtook Leclerc to the finish and gave his opponent no space. In fact, the Dutchman continued with faster laps and tried to increase his gap.
The phase of the game
The start at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was clear. Perez held his position with no problems while Leclerc couldn’t make a move. On the other hand, Ferstappen was able to work his way up to 3rd place and overtook Carlos Saint.
On the 15th lap, Perez came into the pits. He was unlucky coming in for a tire change just before the Latifi crash that caused the safety car. Thus, his opponents took advantage of the fact that Leclerc finished first and Ferstappen second. It was the moment that changed the dates regarding the development of the game.
Perez lost the lead of the race to a Ferrari bluff. The Scuderia brought the engineers into the pit lane and hinted that Leclerc’s pit stop for the undercut was imminent, but he soon called them back and left the pit stop to Perez alone.
What follows

Carlos Sainz Sr., father of Carlos Sainz and two-time world rally champion, has commented on Ferrari’s decision to replace his son with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.
Sainz was left without a seat at Ferrari last year and later joined Williams. In 2025, the Spaniard outperformed Hamilton and achieved two podiums, while the Briton had none.
Carlos Sainz Sr. emphasized that neither he nor his son criticized Hamilton:
“It’s not our problem, it’s not Carlos’ problem. Ferrari was close to winning the constructors’ championship in 2024, but this year the team has faced difficulties. My advice, and Carlos agrees, is to focus on your work. The world is already too complex to worry about everyone. Let people draw their own conclusions,” he said.
At the same time, Sainz Sr. believes that his son can become a world champion:
“I have a lot of confidence in him and I want to believe that it is possible. I am his father and I have seen how talented he is. If he is in the right place at the right time, he can really achieve this. Everything has to match perfectly. He works and fights for it,” he added.
The rally champion also noted that success depends on the car and the team:
“Unfortunately, I don’t have a crystal ball to know how teams are preparing for radical changes in F1. It all depends on the engine and the chassis. It would be good for Williams to produce a competitive car and fight for the podium. Now they can be at the bottom, middle or top of the table and under the new rules the stronger teams have more resources.”
