, and subsequent rain meant that no drivers were able to improve their times, leaving Magnussen at the top of the standings and Haas with their first ever pole position since joining F1 in 2016.
The 30-year-old pulled the fastest lap of the day out of the bag on his first run in the top ten shootout to beat second-placedMagnussen’s F1 career seemed over less than a year ago, but after a season out of the sport he returned to Haas to replace the sacked Nikita Mazepin, the Russian whose father’s close relationship with president Vladimir Putin led to international sanctions and put the American team’s future in peril.

Thank you to the whole team for this opportunity. I came back after a year out and it’s been an amazing journey.
