Magnussen, who returned to F1 this season after a one-year hiatus, caused one of the biggest shocks in the sport’s history by c🏅laiming a maiden pole for himself and the Haas t🧜eam in a dramatic wet qualifying session in Brazil.&nbs𒁃p;

The Dane went quickest of anyone during the only dry laps in Q3 before the session was suspended when168澳洲5最新开奖结果: George Russell beached his Mercedes in the gravel. 

Rain started to fall wh🃏ile the red flag was out, preventing Magnussen’s rivals from improving when the session restarted with eight minutes left on the clock, enabling him to secure a sensational pole. 

“I don’t know what to say,” said a visibly shocked and emotional Magnussen in parc ferme after qualifyi📖ng. 

“The team put me out on track on exactly the right momen𝐆t. We were first out in the pit lane, did a pretty decent lap, and we’re on pole. It’s incredible.

“Thank you to Gene Haas and Guenther [Steiner] and the whole team for this opportun🌜ity. I got back this year after a year ou💙t, and it’s just been an amazing journey. So thank you.”

Asked if he e🐬xpected such a result when he woke up o💙n Friday morning, Magnussen said: “Not even close. It’s incredible. Thank you.”

Magnussen was in total disbelief when he was told of his position as he made his way back to the pits under the red flag, replying: “You are fucking kidding me! I have never♛ felt ༒like this in my life. Don’t celebrate yet, don’t celebrate yet.”

Magnussen will start Saturday’s 24-lap sprint race from the very front of the grid, sharing the front row with world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen, who ended up two-tenths adrift. 

And 🙈he has vowed to give “maximum attack” and “go for something funny” in the sprint, which will determine the grid for Sunday’s grand prix.

In contrast, Magnuseen's under pressure teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mick Schumacher was slowest of all as he faces an uncertain ♋F1 future.
