Max already came from pole position last week, at the Bahrain GP. This, however, is the first time that the Dutchman will start from the position of honor in the race at the Jeddah Circuit, which he won on a single occasion in the 2022 season.
Furthermore, the three-time champion dominated all segments of the classification, although the advantage over the second best laps was small, below 0s1. Ferrari remained close, with Leclerc among the three fastest throughout the session.

The 18-year-old Brit managed to advance to Q2 0.8 seconds behind his new colleague, Leclerc. However, he took 11th place on the grid by a difference of just 0s036.
