168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has equalled Ayrton Senna’s record for most consecutive F1 pole positions at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

The Red Bull driver claimed his eighth consecutive pole - and seventh of the current 2024 season -🔜 at Imola to tie the late Senna’s record.

Verstappen’s run of straight poles stretches back to last year’s season-en꧑ding Abu Dhabi Grand Pri☂x.

The three-time world champion has th🀅e chance to break the record ne🌼xt weekend in Monaco.

Verstappen had to work for his record-tying pole, having been ruღn close by the McLaren pair of 𒐪Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.

In tꦡhe end, Verstappen edged Piastri by just 0.074s, while Norris m🐬issed out by 0.091s.

“It’s of course a great start to 🤪the year, but also very special,” the Dutchman said as he acknowledged his latest F1 feat.

“It’s 30 years since he passed away at this track. Of course veryꦏ pleased to get pole here, and in a way, it’s a nice memory to him.

“He was an incredible Formula 1 driver, espe൲c൲ially in qualifying laps as well. Great day for me, great day for the team. So I’m very, very happy.”

Senna was tragically killed in a crash during 🌳the 1994 Saไn Marino Grand Prix, which took place at Imola. 

On turn༺ing around his Friday practice struggles, Verstappen added: "A really difficult weekend so far, even t🅷his morning. So yeah, I’m incredibly happy to be on pole here. I didn’t expect that.

"We ma🗹de some final changes before qualifying. They seemed to makeཧ it feel a bit better, I could push a bit harder.

"And this track is unbelievable, on a qualifying lap to be on the limit here, close to the gravel, I touched the gravel in the last corner - yeah I’m still pumping, the adr🎶enaline is still very, very high."
