The new kid is expected after the 2022 imbroglio with Alpine. Oscar Piastri is under pressure and his first Grand Prix in F1 was cut short with only 15 laps on the clock and a retirement following an electronic problem. In Jeddah, the weekend got off to a bad start for the 21-year-old Australian with 14th and 19th times on Friday, but the situation changed on Saturday. With the 8th time in PR3, the native of Melbourne gave himself confidence and propelled his orange car into Q2 and then into 3. Ninth time in the end, he will start from the fourth row in eighth place, following the penalty from Leclerc, and will aim for his first points with the big boys.
