F1 Saudi Arabia, the news of the Qualifying
In Jeddah, Max Verstappen wins the 34th pole position of his career with a splendid lap. The Dutchman continues to be a wrecker, lapping in 1:27.742 and giving three tenths to Charles Leclercwho can also say he is satisfied and makes it clear in the following radio team: “There was nothing more I could get on the ride”.
Leclerc does what he can, but against this Verstappen-RB20 package at the moment there is no story. It is very unlikely that there will be any tomorrow, if the feedback on the pace of the reigning world champion in free practice proves to be true. However, Ferrari showed a good pace over the weekend, certainly podium-worthy, and will be able to battle with the Monegasque. Applause also for Oliver Bearmanwho closed the first F1 qualifying of his career in 11th place, going 36 thousandths behind Lewis Hamilton, certainly not just any in the history of the Circus.
Second row for Sergio Perez and Fernando Alonso, once again in great shape on the flying lap. Third row for McLaren and fourth for Mercedes: George Russell pays for a mistake in the last time-attack, Hamilton never on the ball and still beaten by his teammate, to the point of risking elimination from the top ten. Yuki Tsunoda did well, ninth, while the other RB driver Daniel Ricciardo couldn't do better than 14th place.
