IMOLA, Italy (AP) — On a weekend commemorating Ayrton Senna, Max Verstappen matched the late Brazilian’s record for consecutive pole positions in Formula 1 at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
Verstappen made it eight in a row — seven this year — when his Red Bull topped qualifying on Saturday, just ahead of the McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Miami GP winner Lando Norris.
However, Piastri was later penalized three grid places for impeding Haas’ Kevin Magnussen in Q1 and dropped to fifth, promoting Norris to the front row of the grid.
Verstappen’s streak dates to the last race of last season, drawing the three-time defending champion level with Senna on eight consecutive pole positions.
“It’s 30 years since he passed away, so it is very special, and I am very pleased to get pole, and in a way it’s a nice memory to him,” Verstappen said.
“He was an incredible F1 driver, especially in qualifying. A great day for me, a great day for the team. I’m very, very happy.”
