Verstappen dominated all three qualifying sessions, securing the fourth consecutive pole position for the 2024 season. His teammate, Sergio Perez, also had a strong performance, resulting in a complete front row for Red Bull in the upcoming Grand Prix. The qualifying order was established in the previous practice sessions, where Verstappen consistently outperformed his competitors. In Q1, the battle to avoid elimination was intense, with Lance Stroll from Aston Martin leading the eliminated drivers. The margins were tight, with only 1.277 seconds separating the 20 competitors. Moving on to Q2, both Red Bull cars continued to show their dominance, while other teams like McLaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, and Aston Martin sought to advance. In the end, Verstappen secured pole position with a lap time of 1:28.197s, closely followed by Perez. McLaren’s Lando Norris secured the third position on the grid. Lewis Hamilton, despite a strong performance in Q2, only managed to secure seventh place. The race promises to be exciting, with Verstappen starting at the front of the pack.
