Christian Horner believes Max Verstappen's pole position lap at the Japanese Grand Prix was
'very special' as he beat the rest of the field by over half a second at Suzuka. Verstappen topped all three practice sessions going into qualifying, before beating second-placed Oscar Piastri by 0.581s, with Lando Norris in third.It was Verstappen's ninth pole of the season and comes one week after a disastrous qualifying in Singapore for Red Bull, who can become constructors' champions on Sunday.
But even he admitted he found the limits which felt 'really nice' and was able to gel with the car from the first lap in practice one.'It's been good from Lap 1 onwards. It gave me a lot of confidence. Of course, throughout the weekend, you make little adjustments to the car, especially in Qualifying for Q3,' Verstappen told Sky Sports F1.'When you have that confidence, especially in Sector 1, you can really push it to the limit in a controlled way.
