Saudi Arabia by Mexico! It's pole for Perez, but Ferrari is there

In the end you race and, as you know, racing in Formula One is also synonymous with entertainment. Especially if the starting grid of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix decides. But let's start with the most important news of the day concerning Mick Schumacher. The German driver went into the wall, breaking his single-seater following a very violent impact. For number forty-seven on the grid, fortunately nothing serious: he is conscious and was taken to hospital for tests.

It's a lightning Perez

Coming to the track, it's an incredible pole position, the one signed by Sergio Perez who finishes in front of the two of the Reds Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz. An excellent result from Ferrari, who perhaps rejoices halfway: it's still a second and third place, but before Perez's lightning lap, Ferrari dreamed of a great one-two style race in Bahrain. Tomorrow will undoubtedly be a great battle, always between them: Ferrari against Red Bull.

It's raining questions

However, one cannot fail to comment on the biggest and most sensational twist: Lewis Hamilton does not pass Q1 and will start in sixteenth position. Huge question marks on the progress of the seven-time world champion who shouldn't have reported problems on his W13, however. Is it possible it's just a feeling issue? Difficult to explain, however considering that teammate Russell will start from sixth position. Still problems for the German team. There is therefore work to be done, and this was already known, but today's sixteenth place undoubtedly makes us think.

Between problems and improvements

At AlphaTauri, on the other hand, the situation is a bit delicate: the car goes and is strong, but the problems are still too big. No hitches for Gasly, who takes home the ninth position. A different fate instead for his teammate Tsunoda who will start last after never taking to the track due to technical problems. Problems that McLaren has tried to solve and, in this respect, we can see some positive signs. “Improvements but not enoughNorris said on a team radio forward of his XNUMXth box. The Englishman will start with his teammate Ricciardo next to him.

Thus ends an incredible, and long, qualifying in Jeddah. Appointment tomorrow, at 19.00, with the last appointment decided, the most important: the race.
