A second career pole for Checo, while Max Verstappen will have plenty of work to do from P15 tomorrow... F1 SaudiArabianGP
Sergio Perez will start on pole for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix for the second year in a row after an entertaining qualifying session in Jeddah, though Max Verstappen suffered a mechanical issue in Q2 which will see him start all the way down in 15th.
George Russell and Carlos Sainz will make up the second row, ahead of Lance Stroll and Esteban Ocon as five different cars fill the first six slots on the grid for Sunday’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. But early in Q1, it was AlphaTauri’s Nyck de Vries who found himself in a spot of bother when he spun round under braking at Turn 1 – having missed FP3 through having a full power unit change on his car. The rear of his AT04 appeared to lock as soon as his foot touched the brake and the Dutchman was left with four flat-spotted tyres for his troubles.
Yet another spinner came later in the session as Logan Sargeant found himself facing backwards on the exit of the Turn 22/23 chicane – newly reprofiled for this year to reduce entry speed at that section – and the Williams driver was able to turn himself around and get going again.
