The Red Bull driver crushed his rivals with a devastating performance in qualifying as he claimed a dominant pole po🦩sition at Suzuka. 

Having already set a lap time good enough for pole, Verstappen went even quicker on his final run of Q3, posting a 1m28.877s which put him a massive 0.581s clear of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri’s McLaren. 

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

Asked about the radio exchange in the post-qualifying press conference, Verstappen confirmed he had b🌸een egged on by his race engineer. 

“Yeah, he told me like 1:28 would be nice,” Verstappℱen said.

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

“I was like, ‘Yeah, obviously, that’s not whaဣt I want to do’.”

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

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

Red Bull team principal Christian Ho🐷rner said Lambiase was “winding” Verstappen up ahead of his final qualifying lap. 

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

“I said to GP ‘Look, I’d li🏅ke to see four wh🌜eels on the car at the end of it!’

“That first run lo♋oked 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 performancℱe.”
