Jeddah Qualifying has been nothing short of entertaining. In a shock of events, Mick Schumacher faced a horrific crash, while Lewis Hamilton was out of Q1 for the first time since 2017. While it took a long time for (215 sessions) Perez to grab his first pole, he finally managed it.

Despite Leclerc’s lap looking very decent, the Monegasque could not manage pole. The Ferrari driver did manage to outpace his teammate Carlos Sainz but somehow couldn’t beat Perez. The Mexican driver also beat reigning world champion and teammate Max Verstappen.
