It's only pole for the sprint race so it will be hard for Magnussen to even be Top 10 for the Grand Prix itself but in the record books this is an official pole position. It's the first for a Danish driver in F1 and the first for Haas team (Mick Schumacher promptly finished last in Q1 so he can truly leave the series here). The advantage of having had a shitty season last year, meaning Haas was all the way at the back of the pit lane, so Magnussen could be the first one at the pit exit in Q3, and so be the first one to have a lap time while meters behind him the rain was falling more and more and so everyone else had a tad more rain to contend with than Magnussen did seconds earlier Wonderful piece of luck and grabbing one's very rare chance! rafalgorka 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Federer91 2,195 Posted November 12, 2022 #114 Share Posted November 12, 2022 2003 Interlagos GP is one of the best F1 races i have watched. Too bad such a race will never happen in modern times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not remembering 2016, ouch. I do remember 2003, although I was quite young. I think that was the one where one after the other went off, giving Jos Verstappen a rare chance for a great result, until he ended up in the gravel in turn one?

I literally remember better things that happened 20 years ago than 5 years ago. I literally don't remember much from the Mercedes hybrid dominance era. It's completely blurred from my memory. I can't even tell the exact number of wins Hamilton has. I can tell you the 1993 race, Andretti & Berger startline crash, Katayama & Suzuki causing a FCY and Prost spinning off in sympathy. But I sure can't tell anything from 2016 race, least of all if it was raining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I sure can't tell anything from 2016 race, least of all if it was raining Since Verstappen showed the world one of the most epic comeback races of the last 20 years in the pouring rain (and long before he was as dominant as he is now), leading to people singing 'Senna, Senna!' by the thousands when he stepped onto the podium, I find it rather easy to remember that specific one Not without reason that's one of the three 'Minichamps' models I have at home Edited November 12, 2022 by heywoodu If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Monzanator 3,612 Posted November 12, 2022 #119 Share Posted November 12, 2022 The most memorable thing involving the name Verstappen & Interlagos (and I won't mention him denying JP Montoya his first F1 victory in 2001) is the flip in 1994 when Martin Brundle almost got whacked in the head in the process.

Monzanator 3,612 Posted November 20, 2022 #120 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Logan Sargeant finished 4th in the F2 standings so he has enough Super License points to make F1 debut for Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
