F-1 2024 Round 2 -
It's race weekend at the Saudi Arabian GP, the 2nd race of the 2024 season. This is the Quali thread.

The big news today was Carlos Sainz not being able to race due to apendicitis, which will require surgery.

Fun fact: these are the same 5 drivers that didn't make Q2 last week. Ouch!

In Zhou's case, he wasn't able to put in a lap after crashing heavily in FP3. The team got the car ready with about 2 minutes left and Zhou could not get to the line before the end of Q1 (he tried).

Q2 -
Max tops Q2, followed by Charles and Alonso.

The following drivers are out:
BEA, ALB, MAG, RIC, HUL

Ollie missed Q3 by 0.036s (to Lewis' relief), which is an incredible performance.

Hulk's car lost power so he wasn't able to set a time.

Q3 -
Max makes it 3 for 3 and gets pole (again), followed by Charles and Checo.

Quali order -
VER, LEC, PER, ALO, PIA, NOR, RUS, HAM, TSU, STR

The driver of the day has to be Ollie. Yes, he is driving a Ferrari but the guy had only an hour's worth of practice and almost made Q3!
