Lap 44
Norris can breathe a sigh of relief, as there will be no further investigation on him potentially crossing the line at pit exit.
The McLaren driver is currently fourth and three-seconds behind Leclerc in third.
Lap 48
Piastri came on the radio rather snappy, complaining about traffic ahead. He has now passed it though and being 3.2s ahead of Verstappen with three laps left, the win should be his.
Meanwhile, McLaren team-mate Norris is on the charge for third and is 1.8s behind Leclerc, who is looking for his first podium of the 2025 season.
Final lap
A third win of the season is ever-closer for Piastri, who leads second-placed Verstappen by 2.5s.
Oscar Piastri has won the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix!
He is joined on the podium by Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc.
Piastri now leads the F1 drivers' championship.
Piastri is his usual calm self over team radio while celebrating the victory, which is the fifth win of his career.
Piastri: "It was a pretty tough race, very happy to have won. Made the difference at the start, made my case into Turn 1 and that was enough.
"Once I got on the inside, I wasn't coming out of Turn 1 in second. Very happy with all of the work we've been doing on starts."
Verstappen: "I'm going to keep it quite short, I wanted to say a big thanks to the fans in Jeddah and the rest, is what it is."
Leclerc: "I was very happy with the race today, I think we maximised absolutely everything.
"We need to keep pushing."
And as the podium celebrations begin, we'll leave it there to finish off the first triple header of the 2025 F1 season.
Next up is Miami on the 4 May.
