Max Verstappen watched the pole position slip away when a critical mistake on the final turn in qualifying for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix sent him flying into the wall.
The Dutchman was set to swipe the prized position away from Lewis Hamilton, who trails Verstappen by eight points for the championship title, but that final moment landed Verstappen in P3, leaving the front row all to Mercedes.
The 24-year-old was flying through his final qualifying lap, a full 2/10 of a second ahead of Hamilton. That is until Verstappen locked his car's front-left brake into the final turn, and his right rear roughly tagged the barrier.
