'What a lap' - Red Bull's Sergio Perez delighted with first-ever pole at Saudi Arabian Grand Prix

Sergio Perez was delighted with his first Formula 1 pole as he set the fastest time in qualifying on Saturday in Saudi Arabia. The Mexican became the first driver from his country to record a pole with the same lap, and his late, late effort put him ahead of both the Ferraris of Charles Leclerc (second) and Carlos Sainz (third) who had appeared set for a lockout. Ad/> Instead it is the Red Bull’s race to lose from the lights tomorrow, though the close back-and-forth between the Austrian and Italian teams suggests it could be tough for anyone to secure a win.

Ferrari favorito a todo, y Max Verstappen como máximo rival porque sus galones de campeón así lo exigen, y entonces llega Sergio Pérez, que ríe el último y ríe mejor. Pole inapelable del piloto mexicano en el GP de Arabia Saudí por delante de Charles Leclerc y Carlos Sainz, que remató al palo otra vez (lideró la Q2 y el primer intento de Q3), y cuyo asalto a la primera posición de la parrilla está cada vez más cerca, aunque no termine de concretarse. El madrileño salvó las diferencias con su compañero de equipo y encontró buenas sensaciones cuando antes no las había. Se acercó, más que nunca, le batió con milésimas de margen en un par de ocasiones.
