Defending double world champion Max Verstappen claimed pole position on Saturday as Red Bull locked out the front row of the grid for Sunday’s season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Red Bull Racing’s Dutch driver Max Verstappen speaks in the pit lane during the qualifying round of the Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir on March 4, 2023.
The 25-year-old Verstappen’s success brought him his 21st career pole and made a perfect gift to his father Jos on his 51st birthday. “That’s a very pleasant surprise,” said Verstappen. “I didn’t expect to be on pole after the last few days here.” The two Alpha Tauri cars were the first out, Yuki Tsunoda leading rookie Nyck de Vries on track, followed by Ferrari.
He went out along with a disappointed Pierre Gasly of Alpine, Kevin Magnussen of Haas, rookie Oscar Piastri of McLaren and De Vries who, though 20th was only 1.123 seconds off Sainz’s lap time – suggesting a close contest is in prospect.
