The Red Bull driver crushed his rivals with a devastating performance in qualifying as 🦂he claime💯d a dominant pole position at Suzuka.

“There you go, 28,” the reigning world champion told Lambiase over team radio during his cool down lap bacꦚk to the pits. 

A♏sked about the radio exchange in the post-qualifying press conference, Verstappen confirmeಌd he had been egged on by his race engineer. 

“Yeah, he told𝓡 me like 1:2ꦚ8 would be nice,” Verstappen said.

“I said ‘Don’t worry, I’m gonna send it’ and then he was like, ജ‘💛Yeah, but like don’t shunt the car, right?’

“I was like, ‘Yeah, obviously🉐, that’s not what I want to d🅺o’.”

Verstappen added: “I 🔯knew that there was still a little bit left in a few places. 

“That’s what I tried to𒆙 tidy up, which worked out quite well.”

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said Lambiase wܫas “winding” Verstappen up ahead of his final qualifying lap. 

“GP [Lambiase] started wind꧂ing him up for the last run, to say ‘Let’s see a 28 today’,” Horner told Sky.  

“I said to GP ‘Look, I’🦩d like to see four wheels on the car at the end of it!’

“That first run looked good enough to get the job done, but then he just🔜 went quicker again.

“All his laps have been stunning today. He’s done three☂ laps✅ on new tyres, and the lap on scrubbed tyres in Q2 to go second fastest… it has been an absolutely mind-blowing performance.”
