Red Bull-Honda’s Max Verstappen claimed his second Formula 1 pole position in qualifying for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Verstappen was fastest on the first runs in Q3, but only by 0.008 seconds from Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel after running wide out of the Pinheirinho left-hander on the infield.
Then Verstappen improved on his second run to post a time of 1m07.508s, which gave him pole by 0.123s thanks to Vettel’s failure to improve.
Valtteri Bottas was fifth in the second Mercedes after failing to improve on his second run, with Alex Albon rounding out the top six and 0.427s off his Red Bull team-mate.
