Qualifying under the lights at the F1 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Saudi Arabian Grand Prix did not disappoint with drama throughout and an incredibly ti🍌ght battle for pole position decided by the finest of marg♈ins.

Here a🎃re our winners and losers from a pulsating qualifying in Jeddah…

Winner - Max Verstappen

Not one, but two stunning laps from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen. Despite carrying more fuel on his first flyer of Q3, the Dutchman was somehow able to pip McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri’s pre-red flag benchmark by just 0.001s.

Piastri would go on to reclaim top spot before Verstappen usurped him with a sublime final run as the four-time world champion once again made the difference to snatch an unlikely pole away from the qualifying fa✱vourites.

Loser - Lando Norris

This was a bruising night for168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lando Norris as the F1 world 🗹championship leader suffered a major early blow to his title aspirations.

Norris crashed heavily when he lost control of his Mc🌟Laren over a kerb at Turn 5 during his first flying lap of Q3 and slewed into the barrier, sustaining substantial damage which eliminated him on the 🔴spot.

The ꧑Briton berated himself as a “f****** idiot” for the accident which leaves h☂im a lowly 10th on the grid and staring at the very likely scenario that he will lose his points advantage.

Winner - Charles Leclerc

Although 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc continues to be left frustrated by Ferrari’s deficit to the leaders in F1 2025, he can take satisfacti𒆙on from tܫhe fact he once again squeezed everything from his SF-25.

Leclerc dragged his Ferrari to fourth in qualifying in Jeddah, behind only Verstappen, Piastri and Mercedes’ 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell. What concerned him though wa♔s the sizeable 0.376s gap 🌃to pole position.

Despite the♛ tricky car at his disposal, Leclerc continues toꦜ underline his prowess over a single lap, and hold the edge over his new teammate.

Loser - Lewis Hamilton

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s difficult patch𝄹 shows little sign of stopping as he could only manage sevenꦉth in qualifying, having scraped through Q1 and Q2.

A whole second away from pole, Hamilton also lagged more than half a second - and three places - behind Leclerc as his qualifying woes continued in Jeddah. The seven-time world champion admitted he is struggling to “bond” with his Ferrari car a📖nd his set-up choices do not appear to he🐟lping.

Having felt like he had made progress in Bahrain, it’s back🌃 to 🔜the drawing board for Hamilton.

Winner - Carlos Sainz

Another impressive qualifying display from168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Carlos Sainz, who claimed a𒅌n excellent si🌠xth on the grid as the sole Q3 runner for Williams.

Sainz’s brilliant late Q3 efforꦿt pipped Hamilton to see him outpace his Ferrari replacement for the second consecutive weekend.

After being frustrated to miss out on points last time out in Bahrain, Sainz wi🌌ll be determined to convert his lofty grid position into a top-10 finish on Sun💮day.

Loser - Jack Doohan

After an encouraging showing in Bahrain, it ended up being a disappointing qualifying for168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Jack Doohan.

Doohan was du♔mped out in Q1 with a time only good enough f🌌or 17th, while his teammate continued to star in the other Alpine.

Winner - Pierre Gasly

The Alpine clearly has some pace in the hands of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pierre Gasly, who once again extracted the maximum out of his car to bag anothe🅰r top-10 starting spot.

Other th💃an being beaten by Sainz’s Williams, Gasly was ‘best of the rest’ behind the leading pack and will even start ahead of Norris as he aims to make it back-to-back points finishes in the Middle East.

Loser - Esteban Ocon

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Esteban Ocon underwhelmed as he ended up 19th for Haas and watched his rookie teammate progress to Q2 and take 15th whi🔜le he failed to make the cut.

Winner - Liam Lawson

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Liam Lawson claimed his best starting position of the season so far with 12th in his Racing Bulls car, having fallen a tenth shy of making♎ Q3 for the first time.

Lawson also got the better o💛f a teammate in qualifying for the first time in 10 races, ending the second-longest losin𝕴g streak of any driver on a Saturday.

A 🎃timely statement performance from the Kiwi after his brutal start to 2025. 

Loser - Sauber

A poor qualifying for Sauber as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Gabriel Bortoleto slumped to 18th and 20th respectively.

Bortoleto was left apologising to his team for a big spin down at Turn 1 which ruined his ho🍎pes of achieving a better result.
