Green light for Q3! Who, Sergio Pérez or Fernando Alonso (or someone else?) will take pole position in Jeddah?
It's over for Q2! Pérez sets the best time ahead of Alonso! Both Alpine pass, Ocon is 7th, Gasly 10th by a whisker!
The eliminated:
11) Hulkenberg – 12) Zhou – 13) Magnussen – 14) Bottas – 15) Verstappen
Q2 ranking:
Both Alfa Romeo and Hülkenberg are also in danger in this Q2, Piastri is the last provisional qualifier.
Back to Q2, where Sainz is the first provisionally eliminated since he is 11th! Russell moves up to 4th place, Hamilton is 6th.
Fernando Alonso's last pole? 2012 German Grand Prix… it was 3892 days ago!
It's over for Max Verstappen! The Dutchman gets out of his car and will start 15th! A godsend for Pérez… and for Alonso!
Sergio Pérez set the 2nd fastest time behind Alonso.
Problem for Max Verstappen!
The Dutchman is idling, the box stalled on a gear change! He returns to the pits without having recorded a time!
Charles Leclerc sets the 2nd time, 3 tenths behind Alonso, ahead of Stroll and Ocon. Sainz is only 8th…
Fernando Alonso is the first to enter his name in the ranking and signs a 1'28″757! It's already very fast!
Here we go again for qualifying with the start of Q2!
Logan Sargeant did not sign a single fast lap and is therefore beyond 107%, but should logically be drafted for the race on Sunday.
