Runaway Formula One leader Max Verstappen dominated an intriguing floodlit qualifying session on Friday, Oct. 6, to claim pole position for the Qatar Grand Prix, which he could start as a triple world
Red Bull Racing's Dutch driver Max Verstappen is awarded the Pole Position trophy after the qualifying session ahead of the Qatari Formula One Grand Prix at the Lusail International Circuit on Friday, Oct. 6. He wound up four-tenths of a second ahead of nearest rival George Russell, whose Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton slipped from second to fourth, and then rose to third when the two McLarens had laps scrubbed out in a confusing final flurry.
He said he was satisfied with his performance in tricky conditions with a gusty wind blowing sand and dust across the newly re-surfaced asphalt of the Lusail International Circuit. Embattled French teammates Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon of Alpine were seventh and eighth ahead of Valtteri Bottas of Alfa Romeo and Norris.
Stroll, son of team owner Lawrence Stroll, was filmed pushing his personal trainer after climbing from his car and, in a fit of pique gave only brief and rude responses to broadcasters.
