Several high-profile celebrities were present at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit during the qualifying session for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. One notable figure was Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who could be seen in the Ferrari garage. Ibrahimovic, a renowned football player in European leagues, has a notable track record of winning over 34 trophies throughout his career. However, he retired from the sport last year after his final match with AC Milan.
The Scuderia faced challenges when their Spanish driver had to withdraw from the race due to a scheduled surgery. This setback could hinder Carlos Sainz’s momentum and potentially cost valuable points in the championship in his quest for top positions. Nevertheless, the team remained optimistic about their drivers’ grid positions after the conclusion of qualifying at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.
In qualifying, Max Verstappen secured another front-row position, closely following the pole position. Meanwhile, young British driver Bearman had an impressive performance, finishing in 11th place. Considering his limited experience with the SF-24 car, this achievement is quite remarkable.
Although Verstappen’s pole position was a significant feat for the Dutch driver, the Italian team seemed satisfied with the result achieved. However, the Tifosi, loyal fans of Ferrari, will be hoping for a miracle in the 50-lap Saudi Arabian Grand Prix tomorrow. The dominant team shows no signs of slowing down, making the challenge even greater for Ferrari.
