1. Verstappen’s fight with the McLarens
Qualifying was a thriller on Saturday afternoon, and it came down to the very final lap as Max Verstappen finished on top in what proved to be a battle between six different drivers.
Both McLarens were very much in the frame, but Verstappen was able to pip Oscar Piastri and secure his first pole position since Miami with an extremely impressive final attempt. Piastri starts from second and Lando Norris from third – just 0.118s adrift of Verstappen’s time himself.
