Red Bull’s Max Verstappen took pole position for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix leading Charles Leclerc and Sergio Perez.
The surprise of the session was a terrific qualifying effort for Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso in P4 as he dragged his car by the scruff of the neck to get in the top 5.
Ollie Bearman did a nice job of standing in for Carlos Sainz finishing P11.
