168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen delivered a memorable sound b꧒ite over team radio after securing pole position for the sprint ♑race in Miami.

Heading into SQ3, McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris looked to be th🐠e favourite to take pole for the Saturday sprint.

However, as Norris’ charge faltered, it was Verstappen who delivered when it mattered,🍨 despite putting to🙈gether a scrappy lap.

Verstappen ultimately claimed pole for the sprint by just over a tenth ahead of Ferrari’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc.

The Dutchman was clearly surprised when he was told by race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase that🅠 he claimed pole.

Verstappen said: "LOL. What happened to the othersও?🅺 This was terrible.

"I mean I will take it!"

Explaining further why he wasꦗ surprised to take top spot, Verstappen🍬 conceded that the performance of his Red Bull “didn’t feel great”

"It felt really terrible. M♔aybe that 🥀last session was just incredibly difficult to get the tyres to work,” he said.

"Alr🔯eadജy in SQ2 I didn't feel great. SQ3, it just felt quite similar for me.

"I didn't really improve on the soft. Somehow we were first. Of co꧙urse, I happily take it.

"But it didn't feel enjoyable out there to drive for whatever reason because🍸 in practice it felt really, really nice, I was very comfortable and confident, qualifying, not so much.

"It might be the track layout a little bit. I thought after 𒁃practice, I was quite confident we could fight for pole, then in qualifying it didn't really look like that for me.

"But somehow we ended up in first. I don't know what happened to the 𒅌other cars on that last lap."

Verstappen hasn't been beaten in a sprint race since the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix, when he finished behind 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri.

Since the introduction of the sprint format in 2021, Verstappen has won eight times - six more than the next driver (168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas: 2).
