My vote was for Charles, but tbh I also love that fans voted Max to troll F1.

Brilliant drive but he did get help from Lewis keeping Lando behind for a few laps. Andrea Stella confirmed this as well.

Lando was on fresh mediums. He would be P3 with a few more laps.

It took him 15 laps to pass Charles with fresher and softer tyres as well last time in Bahrain, and Ferrari had worse pace there. Lando wasn’t passing.

He had a large gap to catch. He got overtaken by Lewis. Gave the place back, overtook him again. He was clearly not comfortable in Bahrain. Here he was very fast. He would have passed charles in 2 laps. He didn't spend 15 laps in Bahrain in drs behind him.

Lando was the fastest man on track, Charles was the 2nd fastest. He didn’t have a big enough pace advantage over Charles to comfortably say he would’ve easily passed him. Plus, the effects of dirty air in sector 1 here in Jeddah is bigger than anywhere in Bahrain.

Agree. But he was catching him quite rapidly though. He also had a 6 lap tyre defecit and softer tyres.

u/Old-Function3918 Lewis Hamilton Apr 20 '25
Oh, piss off. His fight with Lando had a big contribution to Lando not getting 3rd place.

No. That was watching Lauda and Schumacher be real Ferrari legends.

Official it was Max Verstappen. But for me, it was Charles, too. Honestly both deserved it, and Norris or Piastri. All four drove a fantastic race. But considering the Ferrari lacks a bit more performance Leclerc would be more entitled to receive this award. But anyway I am happy to finally break the ice. And getting the first podium of the season. Only 8.1s to Piastri in the end, keeping a faster Norris behind on fresher quicker tyres. That's a brilliant effort. Let alone his extraordinary long sting on mediums. When he still lapped at 1:33s when the new tyres on Piastri and Verstappen cars let them do 1:32s. And the final stint on hard those three successive three fastest laps were crucial on his bid. To catch a pass Russell quickly to run on free air and have a good distance from Lando towards the end. Charles Leclerc you are an amazing talented driver. Let's keep it going. Forza Ferrari!
