first man with 5 poles in first 5 races of the season this century

The admins actually listened? The right channel plays exhaust and the left does the interior mic? Absolutely smashed it, admins. This is what we needed.

Love him or hate him, nobody can deny that Max is an absolute machine

[lucasdevries]

Notice how early he goes full throttle in the last corner. Amazing car and driver.

[Sonic_Racerz]

This was a brilliant pole lap from max it just proves how talented he is 🎉🎉❤❤

[ELSTERLING]

To those who can't tell, the level of finesse and absurd precision required to hold a car this close to the limit without overstepping, let alone making it look this calm and easy, is why people like Max and Lewis are legends of the sport. What they can both do with a car is artistry even to their fellow F1 drivers.

Max' supersonic speed makes the grass burn!!

[tamtam]

seeing max's qualifying is like when you play a game. just smooth and perfect in every aspect.

[lievais]

When watching live, you saw him fly into that last corner. Kicking up the dirt and still keep it on track. Truly amazing!

[Artoba_futurooliveira]

It was even boring watching F1.
THIS GUY IS INSANE 🔥🔥

[shreeshvijayakumar]

Glad they brought the exhaust mic back😊

[corpsecoder_nw]

Even with the low grip track surface he's halfway around the hairpin in 0.9s (1:25 - in that car....so confident on turn-in, corner to watch.

1, 33.735 on the simularor, 1.33, 660 in real life.
Absolute monster

[suspect]

That car.... It looks the the F1 games when you max out all the upgrade stats and you're completely on rails.

Max is still amazing since he just jumps in and puts 6-7 tenths on everyone like he's going to get groceries.

[Jabronis_bear]

The way he handles that last corner is nuts!

[kunjosephinechan]

Nah I bet the reason that the grass caught on fire was because of the speed of Max, definitely deserves the super F1’dor

[phill]

His strategy is to save tires first sector and then use the saved bit in the remaining 2. First sector is not flat out

[EmiJP]

This track is something else. Dont know what it is but watching this onboard was very interesting.

First sector: 24 secs and 14 of them only to do the first 4 turns. A more complex sector that challenges the drivers even more than it lappears after the first look.

Second sector: Turns 7 to 10 remind me of a combo bewteen Sepang´s turns 5 and 6 and Bahrain turns 9 and 10. Two fast and two slow turns.

Third Sector: A 40 secs sector with a 15 secs straight (13 of them at full speed). Even though Baku´s main straight is longer i feel this one the longest during the lap. Turn 14 maybe the hardest breaking point of the season. Even more than Baku´s turn 1, Spa´s first turn in Les Combes or Monza´s first chicane.

Well it seems like he is going for that 100% pole rate in a season 😂

[radosawl]

It even doesn't looks like hotlap. Like he could go much faster. Incredible.
