Kevin Magnussen took a sensational first Formula One pole position, in his 100th race for the Haas team, after a weather-affected qualifying for Saturday's sprint race at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
The Dane was on top when George Russell spun and beached his Mercedes into the gravel at Interlagos, bringing out the red flags to halt the session with eight minutes remaining and rain falling.
"I don't know what to say," Magnussen said as U.S.-owned Haas, eighth overall and with one of the smallest budgets in the paddock, were left with one driver at the front and the other at the back."You're kidding," Magnussen had said over the team radio when told he was fastest as the red flags were waved.
Asked what his approach would be on Saturday, the 70th birthday of team owner Gene Haas, the Dane grinned: "Maximum attack"The hour-long session started in damp conditions after a light drizzle with drivers heading out on intermediate tyres and then switching to slicks as the track dried. The sky became a darker grey and the rain returned during the second phase, with Verstappen top of the timesheets ahead of Ferrari's Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc.
