168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen delivered🅘 a memorable🅰 sound 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 t🌳he favouri💞te to take pole for the Saturday sprint.

However, as Norris’ charge f🤪altered, it was Verstappen who del🍨ivered when it mattered, despite putting 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 w😼hen he was told by race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase that he c🌼laimed pole.

Verstappen said: "LOL. What happ𝕴ened to the others? T🦋his was terrible.

"I mean I will take it!"

Explaining further why he was surprised to take top spo✱t, Verstappen conceded that the performance of⛦ his Red Bull “didn’t feel great”

"It felt really terrible. Maybe that last session was just incredibly difficult to get the tyres to work,🦹” he said.

"Already in SQ2 I didn't f⭕eel great. SQ3, it just felt quite simi𒐪lar for me.

"I didn't really🍰 improve on the soft. Somehow we were first. Of course, I happil𒉰y take it.

"But it didn't feel enjoyable 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 litt﷽le bit. I thought after practice, 🌠I was quite confident we could fight for pole, then in qualifying it didn't really look like that for me.

"But somehow we ended up in first. I don't know what happened to the other ♑cars on that 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).
