First non-Mercedes pole on this track in turbo-hybrid era. That's gotta be impressive.

I just want to say, unbelievable! I'm a fan of Lewis, but Max didn't make any mistake this season. He deserve winning this F1 season!

Man the entire Red Bull team made an insane job today. From FP1 to this... insane. The Engineers, Max and of course Checo. What a performance. Congrats. What an awesome season so far. Looks like DTS doesn't need to fake all the drama this time xD hahaha

That lap was a MONSTER! Congrats Max, from Atlanta.

Red bull did a fantastic job over the weekend, congrats to max. Also nice to see checo on 3, hopefully it is a 1-2 for RB tomorrow

For all who are wondering no deletion of time at turn 6 on 0:36. New directive says:
The track limits at the apex of Turn 6 are defined as when no part of the car remains in contact with the red and white kerb.
So it is ok to drive over the kerbs.

Its raining in the end. Cant believe max is still the quickest

This was my first F1 event live and man was it fun. I'm a Lewis fan but man Max was sharp today. Very exciting to see it literally come down to the last second of qualifying to have 2 lead changes in the last 2 minutes

Didnt expect this result at all, even Hamilton had a tow on the straight and Max didnt. Red bull found so much pace since FP1!

[housesports]

A lot of Lewis and Max fans are still gonna debate against each other, but soon in a few years all of us will be thinking about this season as one of the best seasons in a long while.

Sergio has been on great form lately, I cant wait to see get to where he belongs

[TheConfidentNoob]

Red Bull needed this pole position. I just hope Max can hold his nerve at the race start tomorrow and I hope Sergio can jump Hamilton

[PyroBun_]

That Honda engine always sounds so soothing.

[marsmaliik]

You can see his anger in the lap, he wanted it so bad and the "yes" at the end shows it

[SkyhawkTL]

Best driver against best car...best driver won.

[tadejsster]

I mean, what a 1st sector especially. Driver/car harmony at its best

[philipgti]

Congrats Max from Greece!You are the best!💪💪✌✌

[braintobody]

0:36 he nearly out of the track limits but he nailed the first sector from this corner 🔥🔥

[usmanpirzada]

Max will be the next Kimi of the sport in terms of fan base.

[venkatsaimurlidharan]

He is so comfortable with the car, no aggressive steering inputs, he has become so smooth over the years.
