IMOLA, Italy -- Lando Norris never doubted Max Verstappen was the man to beat in qualifying for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, despite the world champion's scruffy start to the weekend.
Max Verstappen equalled Ayrton Senna's record of eight successive pole positions on the 30th anniversary of his death at Imola. "I know Max hasn't had the smoothest weekend but I think if anyone doubting Red Bull or him coming back and doing a good job in qualifying, they're a bit stupid," Norris said, having secured third on the grid.
Asked if he preferred a closer fight, Verstappen laughed and said:"I mean, I would rather qualify eight-tenths ahead, but that's not possible. Given the difficulties encountered in the three hours of track time before qualifying Verstappen said his lap felt very special.
