The starting grid of the Saudi Arabian GP

La starting grid of the Saudi Arabian GP always sees him in front of everyone: Max Verstappen. The Dutchman is increasingly unstoppable and also achieves the second pole position out of two. At his side, exactly like seven days ago in Bahrain, is Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque still positions himself in the front row, followed by Sergio Perez and by Fernando Alonso. Super performance from the Spaniard, called to the test in the race, as his pace on Friday had not completely impressed.

Red Bull and Ferrari go, McLaren and Mercedes chase

Fifth position for the first of the two McLarens. Oscar Piastres, in fact, positions himself in front of his teammate Norris, who will start next to him. From the McLaren row to the Mercedes row with George Russell and Lewis Hamilton in seventh and eighth place respectively, following a qualification really disappointing. Closing out the top ten on the starting grid is Yuki tsunoda and the Aston Martin of Stroll.

Ferrari in the sixth row

In eleventh position there is the Ferrari by Oliver Bearman. The British driver, who will replace Carlos Sainz, is preparing for his debut in Formula 1 and on a Ferrari. His qualifying wasn't bad at all. Now, however, as he himself admitted, it will be necessary to try to achieve a positive and satisfactory result, especially in the race, with the points zone which must be his objective. Alongside him will be Alexander Albon, followed by Kevin Magnussen and from Daniel Ricciardo.

To close the lineup

Fifteenth position for Nico Hulkenberg who failed to reach Q3 as he did last week in Bahrain. Difficult qualifying, once again, for Stake, sixteenth with Bottas, and for Alpine, seventeenth and eighteenth with Or with e gasly. At the back of the grid, in the last row, Logan Sergeant and Guanyu Zhou.
