Verstappen snatches pole for Saudi Arabian GP after Norris crashes out of qualifying

Max Verstappen took pole position for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after championship leader Lando Norris crashed out of a thrilling qualifying hour in Jeddah.

Norris had only just begun his first flying lap of Q3 when he lost control of his car, which broke free from his grasp when he got on the power while riding the curb exiting Turn 4.

His McLaren slid at speed into the outside barrier, where the front-left corner took the brunt of the damage and halted the Briton’s lap, leaving him 10th on the grid without a time.
