Did Ferrari just miss their golden opportunity in Jeddah? 
In this segment, we break down how Charles Leclerc’s pace in “clean air” and strategy saw him match Lando Norris for “race pace”, and also, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen at the 2025 Saudi Arabian GP.
From bold tyre strategy to managing race pace, Ferrari were in the fight — but was P4 all they could manage?
Key breakdowns inside:
– Why Ferrari’s tyre strategy got them a podium, but not the race win
– Charles Leclerc’s massive medium tyre stint explained (longest for any driver in the 2025 Saudi Arabian GP, and in fact, longer than his hard tyre stint)
– Why Mercedes fell off in the heat
– Could Leclerc have won from a better grid position aka “clean air”?
This is a deep dive into what could have been the most unexpected win of the season.
