It is Sergio Perez on Formula 1 pole position in Saudi Arabia after a dramatic qualifying session in Jeddah.

Pace-setter Max Verstappen looked set to cruise to another P1 start, but a driveshaft failure put him out in Q2.

That cleared the path for Perez to nab pole with Charles Leclerc second fastest, but set for a 10 place grid drop, meaning Fernando Alonso is set to line up P2.
