WATCH: Compare Verstappen and Piastri's fastest Q3 laps from Saudi Arabia with our ‘Ghost Car’ feature

Max Verstappen grabbed an unexpected and dramatic pole position in Saudi Arabia, beating McLaren's Oscar Piastri by an incredibly fine margin at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

The Dutchman's last flying run in Q3 saw him post a 1m 27.294s, just 0.010s ahead of Piastri, who lapped in 1m 27.304s.

Those two had been evenly matched all night long, initially with Lando Norris also in the mix before he crashed out at the start of Q3. That crash brought out the red flags, leaving the rest with a dilemma.

There was time for two runs, but it was very tight. Verstappen opted to risk it, Piastri did not. As such, the Dutchman was more dialled in for his second flying run - but did that make the difference?
