F1 world championship leader Lando Norris is only 10th on the grid for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, following his qualifying crash.
Norris's huge shunt in Q3 opens the door for front-row pair Max Verstappen and Oscar Piastri to assume control of the standings, which for Piastri will be the first time in his career he has led the standings.
Norris is eight points clear of Verstappen, who took pole by just 0.010s, and three of Piastri, with the second row consisting of George Russell and Charles Leclerc.
Lewis Hamilton will start seventh for Ferrari.
