Max Verstappen claims a dominant pole position at the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver was 0.319 seconds quicker than Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who had to settle for second place on the grid for the second consecutive weekend.But it was another crushing display from Verstappen, with the three-time world champion sealing his first pole at the Jeddah Cornice Circuit.Fernando Alonso produced an impressive lap to put his Aston Martin on the second row in fourth, just 0.374 secs off Verstappen’s benchmark.
Next came the Mercedes duo of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, who were a disappointing seventh and eighth, over eight-tenths adrift.RB’s Yuki Tsunoda and Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll completed the top-10 order. The 18-year-old has become the youngest-ever British F1 driver, and the youngest to drive for Ferrari, as a last-minute replacement for Carlos Sainz, who was struck down with appendicitis.
