2023 F1 Saudi Qualifying analysis by Peter Windsor

Just as yet another pole position seemed inevitable, Red Bull's Max Verstappen was suddenly sidelined by a broken driveshaft. Which opened qualifying to a number of possibilities: could Fernando Alonso take advantage with the Aston Martin? What about Ferrari? Or would Red Bull's other driver, Sergio Perez, step in to take charge? In this video, Peter Windsor analyses the stunning Q3 lap that indeed took Perez to the pole; details the outstanding performance of Ferrari's Charles Leclerc - and looks at qualifying sector time results that reflect the differences between the Aston Martin and its opposition.
