Qualifying under the lights at the F1 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Saudi Arabian Grand Prix did not disappoint with drama throughout and an incredibly tight battle for pole position deci♛ded by the fꦛinest of margins.

Here are our winne🐷rs and losers from a pulsating qualifying in Jeddah…

Winner - Max Verstappen

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

Piastri would go on to r📖eclaim 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 favourites.

Loser - Lando Norris

This was a bruising night for168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lando Norris as the F1 world champ🐟ionship leader suffered a major early blow to his titleꦉ aspirations.

Norris crashed heavily when he lost control of his McLaren over a kerb at Turn 5 during his first flying lap of Q3 and sle💟wed into the barrier, sustaining substantial damage which eliminated him on the spot.

The Briton berated himself as a “f****** idiot” for the accident♏ which leaves him a lowly 10th on the grid and staring at the very likely scenario that he will lose his poi💎nts advantage.

Winner - Charles Leclerc

Although 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc continues to be left frustrated by Ferrari’♋s deficit to the leaders in F1 2025, he can take satisfaction from the 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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell. What concerned him though was the sizeable ꧑0.376s gap to pole position.

Despite the tri🐲cky car at his disposal, Leclerc continues to underline his prowess over a single lap, and hold the edge over his new teammate.

Loser - Lewis Hamilton

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s difficult patch shows little sign of stopping as he 𝔍could only manage seventh in qualifying, having scraped through Q1 and Q2.

A whole second away from pole,𒅌 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 and his set-up choices do not appear to helping.

Having felt like he had made progress in Bahrain, it’s ba💮ck to the drawing board for Hamilton.

Winner - Carlos Sainz

Another impressive qualifying display from168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Carlos Sainz, who claimed an excellent sixth on the grid as the sole Q3ಌ runner for Williams.

Sainz’s brilliant late Q3 effort pipped Hamilton to see him outpace his F🦩errari 🐲replacement for the second consecutive weekend.

After being frustrated to ꦓmiss out on points last time out in Bahrain, Sainz will be determined to convert his lofty grid position into a top-10 finish on S🏅unday.

Loser - Jack Doohan

After an encouraging showing in Bahrain, it ended up being a disappointing qualifying for168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Jack Doohan.

Doohaꩵn was dumped out in Q1 with a time only good enough for 17th, whil🌳e his teammate continued to star in the other Alpine.

Winner - Pierre Gasly

The Alpine clearly has some pace in the hands of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly, who once again extracted the maximum out o🐓f his car to bag another top-10 starting spot.

Other than being beat🅰en by Sainz’s Williams, Gasly was ‘best of the rest’ behind the leading pack and will even start ahead of Norris as he a🐠ims to make it back-to-back points finishes in the Middle East.

Loser - Esteban Ocon

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon underwhelmed ꦯas he ended up 19th for Haas and watched his💙 rookie teammate progress to Q2 and take 15th while he failed to make the cut.

Winner - Liam Lawson

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: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 f🐠irst time.

Lawson also got the better of a teammate in qu𝔉alifying for the first time in 10 races, ending ಞthe second-longest losing streak of any driver on a Saturday.

A timely statement performance from the Kiwi after his brutal𝐆 start to 2025🎉. 

Loser - Sauber

A poor qualifying for Sauber as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: 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 hopes of🍷🅷 achieving a better result.
