Maxꦑ Verstappen leads a Red Bull 1-2 ജin Japanese Grand Prix qualifying.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen captured his fourth straight pole position of the 2024 F1 season in qualifying at the Japanese Grand Prix.
The Red Bull driver set the ♉pace throughout but only pipped teammate Sergio Perez by 0.066s on his way to claiming his 36th career pole and maintaining his 100% record in ♔qualifying this season.
Perez saved his best lap until right at the end of Q3 💦but had to settle🌼 for second as he emerged as Verstappen’s nearest challenger.
"It was quite close at the end," Verstap𝔍pen said. "Overall, this track is very sensitive with the tyres. The tarmac is really aggressive and when you want to go to the limit it doesn't always work ♏out.
"Nevertheless, most importantly it's to be on pole. Of course you want every lap to be peℱrfect but around a track like this, it💛's not always the case.
"Overall, a very good day and a good starting ꩵpಞosition for tomorrow and tomorrow is what counts."
"It's great as a team to be P1 and P2. Hopefully we ca𝔉n keep that going for tomorrow."
