Saturday’s race for the 2022 Saudi Arabian Formula 1 Grand Prix was still in doubt due to the terrorist attack on a petrochemical facility less than 20 kilometers from the Jeddah street circuit. It was not until around two in the morning when the FIA confirmed that they would go ahead with holding the event in the Middle East, although all the drivers and team leaders met beforehand to discuss the situation.
Finally, the single-seaters returned to the track, and here we bring you the compilation with the best images of the day in which the second poleman of the course is decided.

Charles Leclerc was running as the clear favorite to set the fastest time in the qualifying session, played under the artificial light of the floodlights in the coastal city of Saudi Arabia. The Ferrari man set the fastest times in free practice, while the Red Bulls threaten the dominance of the Monegasque and current leader of the world championship in the highest category of motorsport.
However, everything could happen in the classification on Saturday in Jeddah, because in the last free practice sessions of the second round of the year, the top ten finished less than a second apart, something that had not happened for a long time in the Great Circus .
Speed, sparks, accidents and a lot of emotion. All of this is what prepared us on Saturday for the 2022 Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix despite everything that happened off the track in an episode that will be remembered for many years.
