MoneyGram Haas F1 Team finished the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix with Oliver Bearman 13th and Esteban 14th – held at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit on Sunday.
Esteban took the start from 19th, also on medium tires, and came into the pits at the end of the opening lap for hard tires, opting to make his mandatory stop behind the safety car. Esteban contended for the top 10 positions when rivals pitted but on older tires was unable to prevent other drivers from working their way past his VF-25, before he ceded position to teammate Bearman. Esteban brought the car home in 14th at the checkered flag to maintain the team’s perfect finishing record in 2025.
MoneyGram Haas F1 Team holds sixth position in the Constructors’ Championship, on 20 points.
Up front McLaren’s Oscar Piastri claimed victory, his third of the season, ahead of Red Bull Racing’s Max Verstappen and Scuderia Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
Esteban Ocon: "I think if we take the average of this triple, we’ve managed to pull the pieces together in Bahrain on my side, in Suzuka on Ollie’s side as well, but here, we struggled. We tried something with strategy to be inside the points if something happened but unfortunately that wasn’t enough today. It’s one more race with good knowledge and hopefully that will serve us for the next one. We will get to work and hopefully come back well in Miami.”
