“Sergio Perez will start from the pole. Here is how and when you can watch the Saudi GP”–Paul Ebeling
Mr. Perez beat the Ferraris of practice pace-setter Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr to become the 1st Mexican polesitter in F1 history.
A lap that Perez called “unbelievable” and drew praise from championship leader Mr. Leclerc also broke Mark Webber’s long-standing record for the most F1 starts before his 1st pole, with the 2022 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix set to be his 215th F1 start.
Mr. Perez becomes the 1st Red Bull polesitter at the start of F1’s new ground effect era, with reigning world champion Max Verstappen only 4th-fastest as he reported struggles for grip during the decisive Q3 session.
The Big Q: Will Ferrari continue to dominate?
