- Danish driver edges Max Verstappen to São Paulo GP sprint pole
- Pole position is first for Haas since entering the sport in 2016
Fortune favoured the brave as from the gloom and damp of Interlagos, Kevin Magnussen burst through to take a remarkable sprint pole position for the São Paulo Grand Prix, the first of his career and the first for his Haas team.
This weekend’s sprint format means Magnussen will not necessarily be on the front of the grid for Sunday’s grand prix. He will start at the front for Saturday’s 24-lap dash, and will surely struggle to hold off the second-placed Max Verstappen.
