Held on Friday for the same religious reasons as the previous weekend in Bahrain, the qualifying session has determined the starting grid for the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, which will kick off on Saturday in the afternoon.
Among the major developments on Friday in Jeddah, the change within the ranks of the Ferrari team is noteworthy. Forced to undergo surgery for appendicitis, Carlos Sainz had to withdraw for the rest of the weekend. To replace him from FP3 onwards was the 18-year-old British driver Oliver Bearman.

Even in the qualifying session, his work was positive despite the misfortune in Q2. Ollie Bearman secured the 11th position, missing out on Q3 by just 36 thousandths of a second.
The starting grid for the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is as follows:
