Max Verstappen claims pole for Australian GP as Mercedes roars into second and third
Max Verstappen claimed pole for Red Bull in the Australian Grand Prix, mastering testing, cool conditions in Melbourne and lowering the Albert Park lap record four times to confirm his favouritism for Sunday’s race.
Changing for a set of new tyres, the final laps were tense with rain expected. With his teammate out of the running Verstappen enjoyed an advantage however and once more went quicker on the final runs as the clock clicked down. Having suffered a mechanical problem in qualifying at the last round in Jeddah, Verstappen’s exemplary performance is exactly the return to form the 25-year-old had been expecting from his team. The car was once more at its best and the 2021-22 world champion exploited it ruthlessly.
