Magnussen, who returned to F1 this season after a one-year hiatus, caused one of the biggest shocks in the sport’s history by clai♏ming a maiden pole for himself and th༒e Haas team in a🔴 dramatic wet qualifying session in Brazil. 

The Dane went quickest of anyone during the only dry laps in Q3 before the session was suspended when168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell beached his Mercedes in the gravel. 

Rain started to fall while the red flag was out, preventi꧂ng Magnussen’s rivals from💙 improving when the session restarted with eight minutes left on the clock, enabling him to secure a sensational pole. 

“I don’t know what to say,♊” said a visibly shocked and emotional Magnussen in parc ferme after qua𒆙lifying. 

“The team pu🍨t m💝e out on track on exactly the right moment. We were first out in the pit lane, did a pretty decent lap, and we’re on pole. It’s incredible.

“Thank you to Gene Haas and Guenther [Steiner] and the whole team for this opportunity. I got bac𓄧⭕k this year after a year out, and it’s just been an amazing journey. So thank you.”

Asked if 🧸he expected such a result when he woke up on Friday morning, Magnussen said: “Not even close. It’s incredible. Thank you.”

Magnussen was in total disbelief when he was told of his position as he made his way back to the pits under the 🐼red flag, replying: “You are fucking kidding me! I have ꦏnever felt like this in my life. Don’t celebrate yet, don’t celebrate yet.”

Magnussen will start Saturday’s 24-lap sprint race from the very front of the grid, sharing the front row with world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, who ended up two-tenths adrift. 

And he has vowed to give “maximum attack” and “go for something funny” in the sprint, which will determine the grid for Sunday’s grand pr🔯ix.

In contrast, Magnuseen's under pressure teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mick Schumacher was slowest of all as he faces a🤪n uncertain F1 future.
