Max Verstappen Claims Seventh Consecutive Formula 1 Pole Position
Verstappen Takes Pole at 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix
Red Bull Driver Continues Dominance in Qualifying
Max Verstappen has claimed his seventh successive Formula 1 pole position with a commanding performance in qualifying for the 2023 Bahrain Grand Prix. The reigning world champion set the fastest lap time of 1:31.420 around the Bahrain International Circuit, beating his teammate Sergio Perez by over 0.2 seconds.
Verstappen's pole position marks the fifth time in a row that he has started a race from the front of the grid. This is the longest winning streak for a driver since Lewis Hamilton achieved eight consecutive pole positions in 2018-19.
Verstappen's performance was all the more impressive considering that he had to overcome a slow start to the session. He was down in sixth place after the first run of qualifying, but he improved his pace significantly in the final part of qualifying to secure pole position.
Verstappen's pole position will be a major boost to his chances of winning the Bahrain Grand Prix. The Dutchman has won two of the last three races at this circuit, and he will be aiming to make it three out of four on Sunday.
