Verstappen on pole for season-opening Bahrain GP FMTNews FMTSports
Red Bull driver Max Verstappen reacts as he finishes at pole position during the qualifiers for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
The 25-year-old Verstappen’s success brought him his 21st career pole and made a perfect gift to his father Jos on his 51st birthday. “That’s a very pleasant surprise,” said Verstappen. “I didn’t expect to be on pole after the last few days here.” The two Alpha Tauri cars were the first out, Yuki Tsunoda leading rookie Nyck de Vries on track, followed by Ferrari.
He went out along with a disappointed Pierre Gasly of Alpine, Kevin Magnussen of Haas, rookie Oscar Piastri of McLaren and De Vries who, though 20th was only 1.123 seconds off Sainz’s lap time – suggesting a close contest is in prospect.
