The fifth qualifying session of the 2025 Formula 1 season gets underway today - Saturday, April 19 - at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

F1 QUALIFYING RESULTS: Verstappen handed qualifying shock as huge crash rocks Saudi Grand Prix

McLaren have dominated qualifying so far this season, with one of their drivers claiming pole position in three out of four rounds in 2025.

Oscar Piastri currently sits ahead of his team-mate Lando Norris with the most pole positions in 2025, with the Aussie securing pole in China and Bahrain.

Norris claimed the maiden pole position of the season at the Australian GP, whilst Max Verstappen managed to covert his pole in Japan into his only grand prix win of the campaign.

Lewis Hamilton remains the king of the sprint however, adding a sprint pole and win to his name with Ferrari in Shanghai.

But, who will be fastest under the floodlights in Jeddah? Will McLaren once again reign supreme or will a new driver take the coveted first-place starting position on the grid?
