Red Bull Racing driver Sergio Perez will start today’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix from pole position after his great Q3 lap at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit snatched the glory away from Scuderia Ferrari and Charles Leclerc. The Maranello tea is aware the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will most likely inclcude several red flags and Safety Cars that have the potential to shake up the race, but most importantly Ferrari can be happy with the potential shown by the F1-75 cars, which will start the Jeddah race in second and third.
Charles Leclerc was just two-hundredths of a second away from taking pole position for Sunday’s 50-lap race, and he crossed the line happy with his final run.
“The red wave dries out at its best after showing enormous strength all weekend” – we read in Il Corriere della Sera – “it was a technical swing, with the Ferrari fastest on the corners and the Red Bull fastest on the straights thanks to a lighter aerodynamic configuration. The Maranello team, however, has all the means to turn things around, Perez in the lead is easier to attack than Max Verstappen.”
“Only a masterpiece could deny Ferrari for a handful of thousandths, a sensational all-red front row. At the top Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, second and third on the grid, did not take it very well: the F1-75 confirmed to be a great car, “writes Leo Turrini in Il Resto del Carlino. “Ferrari comes within a whisker of perfection – the analysis from La Stampa – second place by Charles Leclerc and third by Carlos Sainz leave a bad taste in the mouth of Ferrari, who counted on an all-red front row taking advantage of a temporary moment of difficulty by Max Verstappen. Ambition and awareness of one’s own means are part of the growth project and the competition is not compromised, on the contrary “.
