In Q1, Red Bull watched helplessly as Sergio Perez – Verstappen’s closest rival in the title race – crashed, leaving the Mexican behind.
At one stage of Q3, Verstappen appeared to miss the advantage and dropped to fourth place before his last lap.
Verstappen lost two tenths of a second in the final sector but somehow made up the margin when closing corners to overtake Aston Martin‘S Fernando Alonso by 0.084 seconds.
Take a bow, you two 👏
