“It’s been a few hours since Fernando and I shared a row on the grid; I’ve always admired him, when I was a kid I was watching Formula One on TV and I saw him there winning races and championships, so it was fun to share the front row with him.“, explains Verstappen, 24 years old -16 less than the double Asturian world champion-, who on Saturday signed his sixteenth ‘pole’ since he jumped into F1.

“Tomorrow we need to focus on the first lap; and then focus on our own careers; because I hope it will be a good fight “Verstappen explained after ‘sweeping’ this Saturday in qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix.
