2. Tsunoda +0.822
3. Gasly +0.830
4. Perez +1,801
5. Hamilton +2.104
15.17 – Norris lightly hits a dangling sign in turn-1, there are pieces of paint on the way, marshals working to clean the track.
15.17 – Red flag
15.16 – And in fact comes a 1: 30.888 which ships to +0.822 Tsunoda and +0.830 Gasly.
15.15 – Verstappen continues to alternate cool-down laps and very fast laps. Now he is again setting new records, he is fuchsia in the first two sectors.
15.14 – The two Ferrari drivers are still in the pits.
15.12 – 1: 31.298 for Max Verstappen, always with white rubber.
15.11 – Tsunoda, Gasly (who mounts a new engine as a precaution after the events in Sakhir) and Perez are approaching: P2, P3 and P4, but Verstappen is hammering another excellent time.
15.10 – Magnussen out of the car, Haas mechanics at work.
15.09 – Hamilton goes to P2, at +1.107, but mounts the soft (C4).
15.08 – The answer from Super Max comes immediately: 1: 31.885 with records in all sectors. Hard mix (C2) for Dutch.
15.07 – Perez raises the bar by turning in 1: 33.021Tsunoda follows him at +0.338.
15.06 – Problems for Magnussen, who was told to return to the pits without changing gear. Trouble with the broadcast?
15.05 – Norris goes to P2 going +0.846 from the world champion.
15.04 – Verstappen immediately in the lead with 1: 34.167the Dutch trimmed +1.170 to Ricciardo.

Green light at the end of the pit lane, the PL1 begins
14.55 – Gusts of wind reaching 40 km / h.
14.50 – Spring temperature in Jeddah, with 22 degrees. Those of the asphalt are instead 29. Everything is ready, we start in ten minutes.
14.45 – Both Ocon and Alonso have new bellies. Seven days ago the French pulled away on the straight.
14.40 – Question and answer in the press conference between Sainz and Verstappen.
14.35 – The Ferrari approaches the weekend in Jeddah with the underdogs after Sakhir’s sensational double. To understand, however, if the hopes of repeating what has been done in Bahrain are well founded, it is necessary to wait at least for the PL1. Which, however, will not be held at a very significant time, given that qualifying will be held at 6 pm and the race at 7 pm.
14.30 – As is known, Sebastian Vettel will not be in Jedda either. The four-time world champion has not yet been ‘negativized’ by the Coronavirus.
14.25 – These, however, are the statements of Carlos Sainz.
14.20 – Let’s start our live broadcast with the words of Charles Leclerc at the press conference.
