Max Verstappen matched Ayrton Senna’s record of eight consecutive poles in qualifying for the F1 Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix
Max Verstappen had to pull off a comeback he believed was the best he had managed for more than five years to claim pole position for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. A suitably superb lap under immense pressure raised him alongside Ayrton Senna with a record eighth consecutive pole.at Imola, Verstappen had to dig deep, after a torrid couple of days during which he and Red Bull have struggled with the car’s grip and balance.
“It’s been a while since I felt we have been that far off,” he said. “It must be at least five or six years since we have been able to turn it around like that.” Yet he was taken to the wire, Norris first barrelling in nine-hundredths back, with Piastri then claiming a front-row slot seven-hundredths in arrears.
“The whole weekend the car has been performing well but I don’t expect us to have an easy day on Sunday,” he said. “To overtake here its pretty impossible, so that’s our first task. But if we can pressure them and have a good performance like Miami we can be optimistic.”
