Red Bul’s Dutch driver takes the third pole position in a row of the season
Max Verstappen demonstrated in Saturday’s qualifying for the Austrian GP that he is unstoppable conquering the third consecutive pole position of the season, maintaining dominance at the Red Bull Ring which he took over just last weekend at the Styrian GP held on the same circuit.
The Dutch Red Bull driver clocked the best lap of qualifying on his first run to the track in Q3 taking his fourth pole of the season with a time of 1’03. 720s. Verstappen is unattainable for three consecutive grand prizes (and weekends) here, even though the superiority registered this Sunday has been in the hundredths.
It’s that the other big point of interest in this qualifying was that pole position was guaranteed by just 0.048s and that second place on the front row was achieved at this distance by Lando Norris in a McLaren.
Although it was not the perfect qualification for the dominator of the last races Red Bull, the Austrian team has the Dutch driver ‘protected’ on pole with Norris at his side and Sergio Pérez in third position at the start of the proof of this Sunday.

Only later appears Lewis Hamilton, with Mercedes – on the day when the champions of the world announced the renewal of vows – emerging as the big loser of qualification. They are not with their cars making the transition between the second and third rows of the grid.
