Verstappen updates his stats: “I consider myself to have three poles”

Max Verstappen (Red Bull) landed in Sao Paulo (Brazil) this Saturday, November 16 his second pole position in Formula 1... “No, third”, he objected to the presenters both in the parc ferme and in the conference almost a few minutes later. The Dutchman even walked his talk by brandishing three fingers!

 

 

 

“I consider myself to have three poles, the one won in Hungary, then the one in Mexico and today. » The fiery pilot alludes to his penalty for excessive speed under yellow flags at the end of Q3 in Mexico, a sanction statistically taking away a pole but which still remains in his throat almost a month later. 

Stubborn Max then continued on his tour (validated this one) in Brazil. “The car was perfect. The temperatures have changed compared to yesterday but we have changed the car settings in preparation. I had a lot of fun behind the wheel. »

 

Already the fastest from the first flying lap of Q3, Jos Verstappen's son hit the nail on the head during the final moments of qualifying. “The second round was better. On my first attempt, I tried a different trajectory in the second sector. I went wide and slid several meters”, He explains.
