168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen delivered a ♌memorable soun🌸d bite 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 the favourite to take pole🐓 for the Saturday sprint.

However, as Norris’ charge faltered, it was Verst🐻appen who delivered when it mattered, despite putt🍃ing together 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.

"I mean I will take it!"

Explaining further why he was s💝urprised to take top spot, Verstappen conceded that the performa🐎nce of his Red Bull “didn’t feel great”

"It felt really t🍸errible. Maybe that💯 last session was just incredibly difficult to get the tyres to work,” he said.

"Already in༺ SQ2 I didn't feel g🌺reat. SQ3, it just felt quite similar for me.

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

"But it didn't feel enj🏅oyable 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 practiceꦇ, I was quite confident we could fight for pole, then in quali🥀fying it didn't really look like that for me.

"But somehow we ended up in first. I don't know what happened to the otherꦇ cars on tha⛄t 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).
