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 polesไ stretches back to last year’s season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Pr✃ix.

The three-time world c🃏hampi𝄹on has the chance to break the record next weekend in Monaco.

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

In the end, Verstappen edged Piastri by just 🍷0.074s, while Norris missed out by 0.091s.

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

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

“He was an incredible Formula 1 drive🎉r, especially 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 cr♛ash during the 1994 San Marino Grand 🌄Prix, which took place at Imola. 

On turning around his Friday practice struggles, Vers🉐tappen added:ﷺ "A really difficult weekend so far, even this morning. So yeah, I’m incredibly happy to be on pole here. I didn’t expect that.

"We made some fina𝓰l changes before qualifying. They s𒐪eemed to make 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 l𒅌ast corner - yeah I’m still pumping, the adrenaline is still very, very high."
