The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025 is set to ignite the Jeddah Corniche Circuit this Sunday in less than five hours. The anticipation is high as fans and teams prepare for the fifth race of the F1 2025 calendar. The race weekend has already showcased intense competition with Max Verstappen claiming the pole position while McLaren stays behind in the second position. Look what the team and drivers have to say about it.
Max Verstappen On Claiming Pole Position At The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2025
Max Verstappen expressed his excitement on claiming the pole position at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, “It is really nice, but definitely unexpected to get a pole today. The Team made some final adjustments going into Qualifying, which allowed me to be a bit more comfortable in the car and attack the corners. Our progression in Qualifying was really nice: we tried to improve run by run, and it felt good in the car, and we made things a lot more comfortable. The tyres were overheating less, which was positive; we found the right balance, and when everything cooled down a bit, the car came alive at night. I’m really proud of the Team, after the red flag, they stayed calm and chose the right strategy.”
Oscar Piastri On Lando Norris’ Crash
Oscar Piastri of McLaren, who finished second in pole positions, opened up about Lando Norris’ crash at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and said, “First of all, it’s great to see Lando is okay. Overall, I am happy with the job we did today. Being so close to Pole is frustrating, but we didn’t have much more in it, and Max did a great job. I think we can fight from where we are, as our pace is good, so we’re in a strong position to challenge for the win. I think it’s going to be a tough but fun race.”

I’m ready to go again tomorrow to score some strong points.”
