JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Formula 1 leader Lando Norris crashed in qualifying for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Saturday, bringing out the red flag.

Norris had not set a time in the third part of qualifying when he lost control over a curb and ran wide into the wall on the exit of the corner, breaking his car’s suspension.

He told the team over the radio that he was unhurt.

Norris has a three-point lead over his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri after four races.
