JEDDAH, March 19 — Sergio Perez claimed pole position for Sunday’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix to salvage pride for Red Bull after Max Verstappen was forced out of qualifying with a driveshaft failure in Q2.
Lance Stroll was sixth in the second Aston Martin ahead of Alpine’s Esteban Ocon, seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton in the second Mercedes and rookie Oscar Piastri of McLaren.“Red Bull are on a different planet,” said Leclerc, who will set off from 12th on the grid.Nyck de Vries, who had missed the earlier session due an engine change on his Alpha Tauri car, spun almost immediately at the first corner, but recovered. His tyres, however, were gone for a flying lap.
Logan Sargeant was another spinner, the American rookie revolving his Williams at Turn 22 as McLaren’s pit crew worked frantically to salvage Norris’s car and hopes in vain. The Dutchman limped back to the pits and with five minutes remaining climbed out as his crew set to work. He left the garage, walked away to the weigh-room and out of qualifying as the team diagnosed a driveshaft problem.
