The British shattered a wheel after colliding and will start tenth in Arabia. McLaren works counterreloj to recover the most dominant car so far.
The pilot of Red Bull Max Verstappen He stayed with the first position of the classification and completed the pole position for the Grandbia of Saudi Arabia of the Formula 1. Behind the best pilot of the moment, Oscar Piastri (McLaren) and George Russell (Mercedes). However, the focus of the news was elsewhere: the very strong blow of Lando Norris.
The qualy for the competition in Jeddah was tight and the Dutch ended first for just 10 thousandths. The hegemony of McLaren, at least for a moment, seems interrupted. Especially because Norris, leader of the championship, suffered a spectacular clash that could compromise the supremacy of his machine.
The British, who had been showing a great level throughout the classification, lost control in a curve and ended against the barriers. Although without physical consequences, the accident forced him to leave the session and will start from the tenth position.
“I have the best car. I should be in pole today. I am very disappointed, but I have to have hope.”Norris launched, sorry, after the Saturday test.
And expanded: “It’s a shame, and hard, because it had been a good weekend so far. I was driving well until that moment.”. In this regard, Jeddah’s urban circuit is the second fastest of the season, but the presence of walls in various curves also makes it a very dangerous one. That is why the quality of the driver over the speed prevails.
It is true that Norris’s McLaren was a step above the rest, equated with that of Piastri. The visible break in the left front wheel will cause the mechanics of the Woking team to work counterreloj to recover the solidity of the racing. It will be an unknown until the moment of the start know if the fast orange car will continue as the best of the year.
