Max Verstappen held off the challenge from Mercedes to secure the first pole position of his career for
Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix.
Just six days after his sublime drive to victory in the rain at Hockenheim, Verstappen thrilled his travelling
orange army once more with another imperious display.
The 21-year-old lit up the time sheets with a Hungaroring track record, finishing just 0.016 seconds ahead of
Valtteri Bottas with Lewis Hamilton in third, two tenths back.
