Kevin Magnussen was dancing in the rain! In the episodic qualifying of Brazil and with the storm making the work of the drivers difficult, the Danish driver surprised and took the pole position in Brazil. Somehow, Magnussen finished on pole position for the maiden time and will start from the first position in the Sprint Race, celebrating this achievement with the people of Haas!
Magnussen took advantage of the fact that he had set a faster lap in the dry from Q2, with the rain suddenly setting in! Everyone wanted to change tyres, with Russell’s exit into the sand trap causing testing to be stopped due to a red flag.
At the restart and with just over eight minutes remaining, no one on the rainy track was able to break, understandably, the time of Magnussen, who celebrated an unlikely first. With champion Verstappen starting second on Saturday, while Russell, Norris will be on the second row. Saint, Ocon, Alonso, Hamilton, Perez and Leclerc completed the top ten.
At the same time, in said tests he broke a series of records and… streaks. Haas is the company that took the most races (142) of any other to take its first pole position. Denmark became the 24th different country to take the lead in testing, while 2022 is the first year since 1979 that four drivers take pole position for the first time in their careers.
