Sergio Perez has qualified in pole position for the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix following a nightmare session for Lewis Hamilton.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton had a terrible day at the office as he could only qualify 16th fastest, being eliminated in Q1. Qualifying was also marred by a horrible crash involving Mick Schumacher but the Haas driver was thankfully conscious before he was taken to hospital.
However, despite Hamilton and Mercedes' woes in qualifying it was a performance to remember for Sergio Perez who sealed pole position in style, which was also the first of his Formula 1 career. In a tremendous fight between the Red Bull drivers and both Ferraris it was Perez who triumphed at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit to take top spot on the grid for tomorrow's race.
