With 16 races won out of 19 possible, Max Verstappen (Red Bull) once again shocked the scorers by beating his record for victories over a season during the Mexican Grand Prix last weekend. Already world champion, the Dutchman is preparing to experience a calm race in Brazil, even if he will certainly not miss the desire to go a little further into history and push his limits.
Disrupted by rain, qualifying for this Brazilian Grand Prix saw the three-time world champion dominate his opponents. He will therefore start in pole position during Sunday’s race. Verstappen was ahead of Charles Leclerc, second, and the two Aston Martins of the Canadian Lance Stroll and the Spaniard Fernando Alonso, third and fourth respectively, while the qualifying of Sergio Perez (Red Bull) was spoiled by a yellow flag and a clash with Oscar Piastri (McLaren) in Q3. Note the elimination in Q2 of the French from Alpine, Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, who will start twelfth and thirteenth.
The Brazilian Grand Prix will be broadcast this Sunday, November 5 at 6 p.m. on Canal + Sport.
