Saudi Arabia – Qualifications: Doriane Pin on the front line

It's a good thing the outside wall of the final corner of the Jeddah circuit doesn't have feelings, otherwise it's a safe bet that it would be in agony this Friday evening. A few minutes later Yuki tsunoda, during the final moments of Free Practice 2 of F1, it was Lia Block who came to fit in during the F1 Academy qualifications.

The pilot supported by Williams escaped unharmed from a car whose lack of grip she had criticized a few seconds earlier. After a red-flag interruption, the drivers were able to return to the track to chase pole position. In this game, Chloe Chambers was the strongest.

The Campos driver set the best time in 2″04″320 ahead of the Frenchwoman Dorian Pin, leader of the general classification. The positions were exchanged in the final minutes between Chloe Chambers, Maya Weug, Doriane Pin and Alisha Palmowski, but the American was the last to improve her time to take the second pole position of the season after Maya Weug in China.

With the top eight reversed for the first race of the weekend, it's Austrian Emma Felbermayr, supported by Sauber, who will open the track. Doriane Pin will start 7th.
