What the teams said – Race day in Saudi Arabia
Piastri got a great start from P2 on the grid, and was side by side with Verstappen into Turn 1. That resulted in the Dutchman cutting the apex at Turn 2, leaving a frustrated Piastri stuck in the dirty air behind. But when Verstappen was handed a penalty for that move, the Australian bided his time, got ahead in the pit stops when Red Bull served the time penalty and from there never looked back as he drove to his third win of the season. As for Norris, he hadto work harderfrom P10 on the grid. Starting on the hards, he worked his way up through the field in a long first stint. He had an entertaining multi-lap battle with Hamilton, but just ran out of time to pick off Leclerc for the final podium place.

What the teams said – Qualifying in Saudi Arabia
Red Bull have turned their weekend around in style. They struggled yesterday in the first session, but kept fine-tuning the car and wound up with Verstappen right in the mix all through Qualifying. But he alone from the top teams went for two runs after the Q3 red flag. It was tight on time but it proved a masterstroke, as he got his eye in ahead of his final lap. That lap was good enough for his second pole of the season, perhaps even more unexpected that the first. As for Tsunoda, he made Q3 to back up his team mate, but could not find the same turn of pace late on.
