Max Verstappen took pole position at the Qatar Grand Prix, everyone was surprised as nobody expected that Red Bull would be competitive to take pole this week.
Christian Horner, said after the qualifying: “All credit to the team and the engineers.”
He continued: “We’ve changed a lot of things on the car and given it to Max Verstappen, he’s been able to go out and deliver the pole and our first official pole position lap since Austrian Grand Prix.”
“It is fantastic and a great team effort,” said Horner.
McLaren and Ferrari were great lately, and Red Bull since the mid-season wasn’t able to fight at the front and title win was a big question for the Dutch driver until last week.
“We as a team we are very pleased.” he added. It was the second pole lap for the team in the last 16 races.
