Verstappen: New Qatar track surface doesn’t allow drivers ‘to push’
Verstappen claimed his 10th pole position of the year, beating George Russell in the Red Bull in Q3. Many drivers struggled with the new track surface and had lap times deleted for exceeding track limits. Verstappen admitted it was difficult to find the limit in qualifying, but was happy with his first run in Q3. Despite running wide on his final attempt, Verstappen comfortably secured pole position. He can secure the Drivers’ Championship on Saturday, but his mentality for the grand prix on Sunday remains the same.
