In Jeddah, the pole position belongs to Max Verstappen; Ferrari junior Oliver Bearman misses Q3 by milliseconds: the starting grid for the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The second qualifying session of the year hands the pole position to Max Verstappen, who will start ahead of Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc. Here is the complete starting grid for the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in F1 at the Jeddah circuit.
As the sun sets and the lights come on, the cars hit the track for the qualifying session of the Saudi Arabian weekend in Jeddah.
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.
The young talent from the Ferrari Driver Academy, competing in Formula 2 with Prema in 2024, performed well in Free Practice 3.
