Verstappen bemoans ‘terrible’ Brazilian GP quali lap as he shares Leclerc chat
Max Verstappen clinched pole position for the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday despite punching in a lap that he believed to be ‘terrible’. The Red Bull star also revealed that second-placed qualifier Charles Leclerc shared his viewpoint.
The drivers were faced with an incoming storm as they headed out on track for Q3 at Interlagos with Verstappen setting a time that proved enough to claim pole position by just under three tenths of a second.
Leclerc couldn’t add to recent pole positions in the United States and Mexico with the Monegasque driver forced to settle for a P2 finish, putting him on the front row for Sunday’s race.
Third on the grid was a more surprising face as Lance Stroll beat team-mate Fernando Alonso to P3. The Aston Martin driver has come under plenty of pressure and criticism this season with that qualifying result proving a much-needed confidence boost.
