Hamilton raised his own all-time F1 pole record to 103 by covering the 6,175 meters of the Jeddah track in one minute, 27 seconds, and 511 thousandths, 111 less than teammate Valtteri Bottas; and 142 ahead of Verstappen, who will start third, from the second row, alongside the Monegasque Charles Leclerc (Ferrari).
Spaniards Fernando Alonso (Alpine) and Carlos Sainz (Ferrari) were eliminated in Q2. The Asturian double world champion will start thirteenth, two places ahead of the talented Madrid driver, who lost control of his Ferrari, spun and made a great save avoiding something much worse, before losing all option in his last attempt, going long in one of the curves.
