Jazzy-draught9 converted E3 pole into victory in Jeddah for Aston Martin.

NesbiLeGrand advanced from P3 to second for Ferrari, with croissantdan recovering from P14 to third for Kick Sauber.

Second place changes the championship lead

Nesbi leaves Jeddah first in E3 on 129 points, 16 ahead of Elias_endale on 113. The new leader did not need the race win to take the table.

Jazzy's victory and Nesbi's lead change are separate products of the same result: one driver maximised the race, the other accumulated enough in second to move first overall.

Eleven places recovered behind the leaders

Croissantdan gained 11 positions from P14 to complete the podium. That was the race's largest top-three recovery, though it did not affect the listed championship top two.

E3 leaves Jeddah with a three-part story: pole converted by jazzy, first place taken by Nesbi and a deep-grid recovery filling the final podium position.
