Max Verstappen beats the McLaren pair of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris to pole at Imola.
The Red Bull driver had not topped a single session heading into qualifying, but bounced back from his struggles on Friday to secure his seventh straight pole of 2024 with a lap that was just 0.074s faster than McLaren’s Oscar Piastri."A really difficult weekend so far, even this morning," Verstappen said."So yeah, I’m incredibly happy to be on pole here. I didn’t expect that.
F1’s newest winner Lando Norris, who was pipped to second place by his teammate, was third and just 0.091s shy of claiming pole himself. Daniel Ricciardo ensured both RB drivers will start inside the top-10 at the Faenza-based outfit’s home race, ahead of Nico Hulkenberg, who grabbed 10th for Haas.
