Verstappen, the newly crowned three-time World Champion, actually set the fastest time of all in Q3, but saw his final lap deleted after exceeding track limits at the penultimate turn of his lap.Verstappen, who had earlier expressed his annoyance with the team’s positioning after encountering team-mate Sergio Perez at the end of his first Q3 lap, will start Sunday’s race from sixth.
“When I heard ‘track limits’ I punched the steering wheel with my helmet, and then I heard ‘for Verstappen’ and then I was: ‘OK, that’s better news for us.’ He explained: “The car was really good and I think this is our biggest strength when we get to a weekend like this, to a sprint weekend. “The first lap in Q3 felt quite a bit better than the second lap but I think there was a bit of track improvement and the second lap was good enough for pole even though on track we got beaten by Max.
