Max Verstappen has been nothing short of phenomenal these past couple of seasons. A testament to how dominant the 2x champion has been was on display during today’s Spanish Grand Prix Qualifying session. Unsurprisingly, he clinched the pole. However, he was half a second faster than his nearest competitor! Naturally, nowadays, the way the 25-year-old has been driving, no record is untouchable. And his girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, beamed with pride as she took her social media handles to shower praise on her beau.

As crazy as it may sound, 2023 is the first time Verstappen has secured a pole in Spain. In a session that was marred by tricky conditions, the Dutch lion, as always, kept his cool and composure to string a blistering lap. In the aftermath, Piquet took to her Instagram account to boast about her boyfriend’s exploits.

According to MARCA, “Making the session even better for the Dutchman was the fact that his Red Bull teammate and world championship rival Sergio Perez didn’t even make Q3, finishing 11th,” after a costly mistake in his flying lap ruined his tires and his chances to move into Q3.
